I'm a genX. I've heard my grandparents talk about raising 4 children, owning a house, having 2 cars, on just my grandfather working as a butcher. Maybe older generations weren't motivated by pay, because they never had to worry about it because they were never under paid?
Bingo. Their generation is an entire generation of griefers. The past few years make me look at my grandparent very differently.
