I don't know that that's true. Millennials are currently on pace to make less than their parents, less likely to own cars, go to school longer, are more likely to purchase used or secondhand goods, etc., etc. The level of prosperity that boomers enjoyed is reflected in their consumption habits vs. milennials, and I'd say that's a more accurate measurement of entitlement, softness, etc.
