You just need to pull yourself up by the bootstraps.

People have been complaining about ‘kids these days’ since society began.
Socrates thought books would be society’s downfall because the new generation would rely on them instead of memorising things, making their brains lazy. He also said:
The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
Every single generation in recorded history has complained the next is lazy and dooming society. It’s always been narrow-minded pearl-clutching.
Also why would anyone want to work? Work is a necessity, not a goal in itself.
I like to work. I enjoy building things; if we lived in a post-scarcity Star Trek world, I would still be in construction.
The problem I have is that we don't live in that world, and most companies don't want to pay me enough to live comfortably, so when I'm applying for jobs, I have to pass over most of them
