Just a quick informal poll if its allowed.

For users/people who think you are "worse off" vs back then, could you let us know which country you are in?

For users who grew up in Asia/developing countries, I would think the young nowadays have a lot more opportunities/chances to strike it rich.

What seems to be occurring at this stage = there used to be a income/price discrepancy for work done, solely because most work had to be performed by locals. The main change now is a lot more of this work can be given/outsourced to employees who have lower wages in developing countries.

It would be interesting to see the results of the poll.

How does one define poorer?

If you were given the choice to go back in time and live in your parents generation INSTEAD of the present, your life expectancy is lower, you dont have the Internet for information.

Overseas Phone Calls were a luxury back then, so was airplane travel. It seems to me inn absolute terms, the vast majority is better off vs if they were the same age in the 1980's
