All you need to do is look at the college admission scandal to realize what's going on in todays society with these families. People with means pay for everything for their kids today. They really don't have to work for anything anymore and they grow up thinking that this is the way life is for the rest of their lives.
For some that is the way the rest of their life will be, living off mom and dads money. For others, when they are forced to earn there own keep, they are completely lost because they haven't learned the survivor skills needed to succeed in this world.
No matter where they come from, at some point they become adults and they need to sink or swim on their own and many do sink.
My favorite saying from custom car builder Chip Foose, "in my day kids dreamed about building things, today they dream about buying things", is the reality of today.
It's a pretty sad state of affairs when 80% of the people in the US are on some kind of drug, whether prescribed or self medicated. When the lines at the cannabis stores are longer than the lines at any other store I think we are headed in the wrong direction.
