WSJ NEWS EXCLUSIVEU.S. ECONOMY Most Americans Doubt Their Children Will Be Better Off, WSJ-NORC Poll Finds Dim view of economy underpins pessimism about future and record-low happiness in U.S. Kristy Morrow of Big Spring, Texas, is teaching her sons the importance of spending money on needs, not wants.

The survey with NORC at the University of Chicago, a nonpartisan research organization that measures social attitudes, showed pervasive economic pessimism underpins Americans’ dim hopes for the future. Four in five respondents described the state of the economy as not so good or poor, and nearly half said they expect it will get worse in the next year.

我们主要是赶上了能源热和IT热，两口子的工作都不错，读几年书就能找到美国大公司，很不错的工作。 以后的小孩不大可能了，毕竟新经济爆发点看不到，看到的AI，智能机器人，chatgpt这种热门，都是减少人工的。
怎么被欺负了？现在年轻人出来不都拿个大包裹，分分钟比工作了几十年的爹妈赚的多。运气好的IPO了，还能帮穷爹妈买个房
babyboomer确实是很幸运的一代！
当然也不只是美国衰运， 感觉世界下行周期到了，其他国家的年轻一代的日子也不会好到哪里去了，日本青年躺平是有内在和国际原因的，大都看透了。中国青年未来什么样？ 啃老也会成为趋势。
整个世界进入下行轨道了，希望只有10～30年，就可以大反弹。
老美没有积蓄，没有给孩子存钱的习惯，是个问题。
我小白同事，听说我和老公，每人都能从自己父母那里继承国内一套付清的房子的时候（父母的现住房），都是非常羡慕的，他说他爷爷的爷爷就来美国了，一代代都没听说给哪个后代留下点什么。他爷爷的爸爸一分钱没留给他爷爷，他爷爷也没留啥给他爸爸。他爸爸所有的积蓄能够自己养老就谢天谢地了，他自己30多岁了，都有自己的孩子了，可还在还自己读大学的学生贷款。
都是靠国运，赶上国运往上的时候就是幸运的一代骄子，赶上衰败的时候就是失落的一代废柴。
下一代主妇真要成贵妇专属了，大多数女人得和老公一起挣钱养家了。
这个时代永远结束了，对任何国家，任何国民，都结束了，永远结束了。
每个人都尽兴、尽最大可能为自己活了、为自己爽了，也不错！
而且03年的房价，毕业几年买房很轻松！那样的好日子再也回不来了
又没减少录取名额，还有那么多父母不怎样的孩子考进去呢！
科技在发展，造房的成本应该越来越低才对啊，现在房子偷工减料跟纸糊的一样，质量越来越差。为什么还越来越买不起了呢，哎
之后就是聚敛加重，普通人生活越来越艰难。 你科技爆发只能局部地改善一点点人类生活。但搜刮的方式可是研究了几千年。能抵抗得过么？
