As a kid I had the pleasure of being to play outside. Now roads are too busy and parents too afraid to let them out of their site.
I will be able to get a state pension when I'm 66-67. My children will never get a state pension.
I worked hard when I was young which allowed me to play hard. My kids will have so much debt that they will never afford that same luxury.
As a child and teenager I never heard of food banks. My kids know various families who have to use them.
