Majority of people my age seem to be putting off home buying and have children (if they have them at all). To many their 20s are a sort of lost time financially where student debt is everything an they have to find some entry level position as get desperate after period of unemployment after graduation. For many the worst part is the indignity of having to move back home despite having a degree and full time career because $500-700/month student loan payments make meeting ends meet so challenging. They are told how entitled they are and they are failures. All that said, the young bring it on ourselves. We don't vote and therefore no one cares about us. The old do so social security and medicare are secure for them. |
You make a good point about youth voting turnout, although the number was promising this past election. But realistically, how can we youth shoulder the burden of our agin population? What kind of economic reform would help us out a little?
I think tuition and all other school-related fees could most certtainly take a cut. As a student I do get a tax cut on my return that carries over every year, (and will go towards student loans at the end of my schooling) but it is still inadequate funding for staying out of debt. Unless you get lucky and have your parents pay for your schooling, or work hard to get enough money to live comfortably you're pretty much guaranteed to go into debt (and still might with a good job). The post-secondary schooling system in North America is 3rd world compared to Scandinavia.
