Help answer this question below.

Is there a future in England for my generation?

I was born in 92 so for the sake of this discussion lets say "my generation" are children from 1990 and onward.
I'm not going to moan about my life because everyone else is in the same boat. I have a job so i'm one of the lucky ones. I have still lost a lot of weight over the past 2 years from hunger and stress and I have worked for the majority of this time so I really feel bad for the people who can't find work.
Everyone around me is extremely depressed and struggling badly to keep going and fighting. I can see the question in their eyes. "why and what am I struggling for?"
We were all driven as kids to work hard and we will be rewarded. Only now this isn't the case as you have to work EXTREMELY hard to pull in minimum wage and just survive let alone keep your sanity. Everything we were told as children doesn't apply anymore and there is nothing anyone can do.
What are the next 20 years going to be like? How can "my generation" afford a mortgage or car insurance? how can we afford to have a family?
What do you think? is there hope around the corner? is there a light at the end of this very long tunnel?

    Things will change eventually! It's a common cycle for the working class. Maybe hard times for you now but it'll get better. Then 20-30 years down the line it will get rough again. Just do your best and always keep your eyes peeled for opportunities.

    Your complaints are the same ones that launched the entire Punk rock genre in the 70s. Check out the lyrics to " God Save the Queen " by the Sex Pistols. Here we are almost 40 years later, and it's the same thing all over agian.

    I was in Scotland in a mall in Grennoch in 1978 observing people as they passed. I noticed only the older people
    seemed to be happy. I believe this is because of all the uncertainities they had lived through and came through
    quite well. England will do quite well and you also will. We are just going through an economical crisis because
    of the leadership in our countries and the we need it know attitude. You are young and dont have a lot of lifes experences
    to compare the current situation with. Remember God is in control and you can handle it better with a smile. It to shall pass.
