There certainly appears to be, at least from my observations, a growing expectation by younger people in Australia that life should be easy. Or more to the point that they should be able to have it all right away. There's little recognition or understanding of the years and years of hard work it usually takes to get where you want to be in life. They don't want to start small and work their way up to living in their preferred suburb or dream home with their dream car. They seem to almost expect all that from their mid 20's and complain like hell when they can't actually afford it! As though they have some right to expect all that from a young age after barely a few years full time work. Older generations are certainly not like that.
