I'm not so sure about that. I'm constantly amazed at the money I see many young people making.

I've got four adult children ranging in ages from 24 to 37, and they all make much more than I ever dreamed of making. More than my wife too. In fact, my youngest adult son (I'm not counting my 4 year old) left the Navy nuclear program 2 years ago and he was making over 60K a year with benefits when he left - to make more money in the private sector. My youngest daughter just got her nursing license and her first job is paying $28 per hour in a rural area in New York and is also paying for her Masters Degree in college. My oldest son, who was also in the Navy nuclear program worked in California for awhile - but then moved back here to our hick-farming town. He got a job with a German company (Siemans), and gets the same pay here as he would if he lived in the city somewhere. I've got two more sons living in the Boulder Colorado area - one for IBM the other for Ball Aerospace - and if I made half what they make - I'd be the King of New York State.
That all being said - they're all basically broke - and they spend $2 for every dollar they make. They don't mind living like that - I couldn't stand it.
