Born 1963. I do agree with you though. I think this theory that every generation has to do better than the last is delusional and unrealistic. To me this is one of the issues that effects outsourcing more than any other. Companies are moving thier jobs overseas because we have unrealistic goals for prosperity. Americans have a hard time believing that someone can be happy without the 4,000 sqft house & $40k vehicle with unlimited credit to purchase whatever the kids say they "need". An engineer with a family in India can live happily on $25K per year. It is no longer about sweatshops and exploitation, it might be about our excessive materialism. It seems to be how we show love to our kids
