Every generation thinks the next one has it handier....but I personally believe the difference between the generations now is probably the biggest divide ever....

the contrasts between nowdays and that of 20 - 30 years ago is huge.......technologically, morally, medically , sexually.......
I am only 41....and my niece cannot believe we had only one tv channel, black & white tv.......no pc's.....she was shocked as to how I passed my time as a kid

You youngsters.
Remember when a loaf bread was 20 cents
A gallon of gas 24.9
Cigaretts 22 cents a pack.
Everyone listened to the radio dramas because there was no television outside of the big cities
beer was 3.75 a case
Levies were 4 dollars
If you had a phone it was a party line.
The phone company owned all phones and rented them to you...and they never broke.
snow tires were made with sawdust and only lasted 5000 miles.
100 dollars a week was excellent pay, and if you made 10,000 a year you were RICH!!!

You youngsters.
