This will highly impact my future in a bad way if this continues. Younger people have a hard time finding jobs and they can pay off their loans from college. If they do find a job and cuts are made they are the first to go. I hope this will change for the better once I start to look for a job.

I think this just gives more incentive to work harder. We've inherited a shattered economy but I believe we're the generation that is capable of turning things around.

money is going to be tight no matter which way you put it. if you go to college your going to have to pay of college loans. if you dont go to college your just going to have to work the rest of your life. so tipically its a lose, lose situation.

This will greatly impact anyones future in a bad way if this continues. Younger people have a hard time finding jobs and they can pay off their loans from college. If they do find a job and cuts are made they are the first to go. I hope this will change for the better once I start to look for a job.

This will definitely impact my future and everyone's future. If this gap continues to get worse then our economy might plumit. If it is harder for teens to get jobs then they won't be able to pay off their loans and they will have massive debt from the start. Also, if teens can actually find jobs and then the company needs to make cuts, the teenagers are always the first to go leaving them right back to the way they were before. Hopefully this gap will not get any bigger so teens can get a stable job to save money for college and other things.

This will most certainly impact my future. There's no doubt about that. It's already hard for me to find a job now. It will only get worse. Also, my family is headed by a younger adult. That worries me, especially when I read about the financial trends. I don't want this to get worse. It's hard enough for my family right now. Bills, mortgages, and other costs are piling up, and if this gets worse, I don't know how my family will be able to deal with it...

Teenagers are always getting the short end of the stick because of young age, inexperience, and adults of seniority over us. If the gap keeps getting bigger, teenagers will have to work harder than ever to earn their place.

If this continues the way it is, it will be very bad for all of us in the future. Jobs are already hard to find and at this rate, it might be nearly impossible for teenagers to find jobs. It's gonna be a very long, hard process to get us out of this.

I believe that this will impact my future along with everyone elses. Right now the economy is in bad shape and it's hard for people who are younger to find a job because of it. Trust me, I've been trying and it's definately easier said than done. Hopefully the economy will be brought up soon, so that everything can turn around so that everything like finding a job, paying bills, and paying off college loans won't be as much of a hassle.

" The wealth gap between younger and older Americans has stretched to the widest on record" this is crazy!! college and life in general is expensive. a job is a necessity and if its going to be hard to find a job its going to be hard in college. i hope the economy recovers and it will be easier to get a job or my future.

I believe that if we work harder to become a better economy then we will over this bad economy. Also everybody needs to become "one" and work together to overcome anything in life.Work hard and work "together.'

It is ridiculous the amount of wealth held by such a small amount of people. If this continues, eventually everyone will be broke except for corporate CEO's

katelynmoore2 said...

this will absolutely impact my future because if the gap continues the economic stability could worsen. We have a hard time as younger people finding jobs now. If they find a job and the economy goes down they will most likely be the first to lose their jobs. I hope that this idn't the case for me when i start my job.

DaltonR2 said...

This definitely has an impact on my future. It is crazy that the US wealth gap between people of younger age and people of older age is the widest ever recorded. I think it is worrying that it looks as if it will continue to become more difficult for younger people to make it in this world.

I think we all need to unite & work together to become a better economy. I also think teenagers would work harder if we had an incentive

Taylor Harris2 said...

This is just going to make things harder as we grow up. We need to push harder and work harder at stuff. We have a bad economy that were growing up with . But i feel like we can make it turn around.

i think that no matter what happens money will always be a struggle. i think that when people are in school it is harder because you have to spend alot of money and even if you do get finacial aid you still have to pay it off. and if you dont go to college then your going to work at taco bell the rest of your life and want to kill yourself.

If this continues to happen it will affect my future in a negitive way. But this will drive young people to work harder in order for us to try and make more money.

Also, if teens can actually find jobs and then the company needs to make cuts, the teenagers are always the first to go leaving them right back to the way they were before. Hopefully this gap will not get any bigger so teens can get a stable job to save money for college and other things.

I don't think is as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be. Then again, no one ever cares what I think because I just disagree with everyone. Social security will be bankrupt, alchemists will find a way to make gold, nothing will have value, and everyone will be broke and starving (note: this may or may not happen.)

This will greatly impact anyones future in a bad way if this continues. Younger people have a hard time finding jobs and they can't pay off their loans from college. If they are lucky enough to find a job and cuts will be made and they are the first to go. I hope this will change for the better in the future.
