Most of us raise our children at a lifestyle level they cannot hope to support themeselves until they are 30ish, and that's if they have a lot of talent, discipline, and do the hard work.

Which is why the children don't launch until age 25 or 30 nowadays....

and depending on how you look at it, either way, the last ten years of "DUMB CREDIT" are over, which has largely been financing the over abundant and unsustainable lifestyles of the majority.
While I can see the point in parents treating their children to a lifestyle they may not achieve until later in life, but is that not the point? One of my parents goals is to let their children have more than what they had, not just in money/gifts/etc. but education, life experiences, etc. Many people choose to work harder and reach that level sooner in life. I will not preach about my own life, but I think some of your comments are extremely pessimistic on society or the youth.
