It's pretty widely accepted that the "boomer generation" and slightly beyond had more opportunity and an "easier ride" in general than at any time in history previously, or than we probably ever will again...
Easier access to home ownership, better employment rights, easier access to (meaningful) qualifications and employment... This isn't hypothesis, it's just history

. Now, it's hardly those people's fault that they were able to take advantage of those opportunities and I'm not really on board with "generational jealousy" - but it's very flippant not to appreciate that there are very real barriers for young adults today.
