Probably has something to do with my generation and younger having absolutely no concept of building wealth. Our parents were part of the "OMG CREDIT!!" phase so we naturally have an expectation that things can be bought whenever we want. This in turn leads to a "culture of entitlement" where we expect to be able to move out into our own condo or house, drive around a BMW and drink martini's at the trendy bar downtown every night. Any attempt to lead that lifestyle inevitably leads to financial ruin and a return to Mommy and Daddies safety.
I know a few people who are having issues getting their twenty something kid out the door and launched successfully, and it has everything to do with the kid's attitude.
