Maybe a third of them heard this. The rest heard that they are special snowflakes who are entitled.
I think they do expect more than my age group did. We built our house but it was just 4 rooms (Liv, bed, kitchen, bath) until we could afford to build on. Now they get these really high dollar houses so are in debt forever.
Also our couch was given to us, our end table was a piece of countertop on a box, our friends all had spools for coffee tables. I had no car and rode to work with a friend (no public trans around here). Nowadays kids think they must have everything their parents had when they are just starting out.
And it wasn't terribly long ago I had these humble beginnings, back in the 80's.
