This is such a great post!
As a Gen x'er I really don't care much for the snowflake millennial lifestyle. I feel it was our grandparents who had it mostly right, sure we found out some of the things they did caused problems but people were much more self reliant and less wasteful back then. Yes, life could be hard but the small things mattered not so much in today's 'me,me,me!' I want it now! generation.
