I think life experience matters more than generation, although of course one impacts the other. But “class” or wealth are most impactful.

I’ve taught private school kids who’ve not been spoilt & who understand the value of hard work and that privilege is a thing. And I’ve taught kids in the same school with no idea. And others, whose parents had been poor & worked damned hard in shitty jobs to get established (back when such a thing was possible!) but whose kids have been spoilt rotten.

My own kids grew up knowing what it was to have to budget tightly & go without, & it’s served them well.

Partner’s kids were more privileged but not spoilt, & had after school jobs as teens.
