Have they understood something that my generation has missed?

What has made today's young adults happy with just about nothing? Many of those who are mid-twenties still lives at home with their parents, have no savings or drive to improve their lives.

They also have no desire to work, other than minimal. When I was their age, I wanted to conquer the world. I still want to conquer the world my time is just a little more limited between work, homework, cooking etcetera.
