it's not harder now, not at all. driving your escalade or hummer to work is way easier than my when my grandmother had to walk to work, or my aunt had to take a bus or be driven cause they only had 1 car. sitting at a desk with a computer is a lot easier than working in a mine, working on a bridge, working two jobs like both my father and mother did. it's not harder, we have become a bit lazier, we expect to make more money for less actual exertion. we expect to graduate college and have a car and fully furnished apartment with the PS3, super bad ass sound system, and go out every night and have our daily $4.00 orange mocha half caf frappucino. by today's "i want to work less, make more, and have it all" standards, yeah, it's harder. by the old day's "i have to work very hard, have very little, and be happy with what little i have" today's living is pretty damn cush....
