Today 17's year old is a mere babe in swaddling cloth . From the cradle to the grave they are trained to have their hand out .They are taught they deserve this and that and someone some how will take care of them.
When this new generation of grasshoppers discover he has zero for savings, no retirement plan and no social security,he might wake up from his childhood.
At least he will have his long lived youth campaign to look back on...........Now he will be a liability.

I've seen this in my own children and have no idea what to do about it. I thought I had said and done all the right things when I was raising them.
It seems they weren't listening.
