I would say basically the commonplace observation that kids aren't going to earn as much as their parents is now is a coin flip at this point. Are you going to do better than your parents? It's a 50-50 chance, whereas if you were born in the 1940s or 1950s, you had more than a 90 percent chance you were going to do better than your parents.

You can make more money on unemployment than you can going down and getting one of those jobs that is an honest job, but it doesn't pay as much.
