What an out of touch dude. I'm not sure he gets that the wealth is being created by our minds instead of our backs. I wonder if he could code anything he used to send or publish that article - or even if he understands even the absolute basics of how that series of tubes works. I doubt it. If we're renaming generations, perhaps we can rename his the "You've Lead America Off a Cliff And Stiffed Your Children With The…

But in all seriousness, this article is ridiculously pretentious and completely out of touch with reality. I know lots of people, including myself, who want to go travelling. Most of them can't afford it. As many others have pointed out, most of them can't afford it because YOUR generation threw the economic in the toilet.
They don't have to go somewhere else, tons of work can be done from at home. Hell I'm running a company and working for another with only my mobile phone for internet access. I could go anywhere I wanted but I've a damp corner that I've grown accustomed to.
According to this article you're doing it wrong and should move to North Dakota.

Though the author might have had an old-fogey tone he does bring some interesting points to light:
1. why do young people in auto-centric cities hold off on getting a car? 2. why are young people not migrating to places where the jobs are? 3. there seem to be a correlation between recession-era kids and entrepreneurism.
I think these are very real issues that merit discussion.
Because in addition to that $200 for the bus ticket, they'd also need money on hand for first month's rent, security deposit, probably some new furniture and houseware, etc. plus enough saved up to be able to commit to the lease without knowing how much income they'll have... if/once they do manage to line up a job.
it takes fewer weeks of work income to buy a car today than in the early 1980s, and inflation-adjusted gasoline prices didn’t get out of line until a few years ago.
"Fewer weeks of work income" only helps if you have work income.
Maybe the authors have gone too long without wondering where next month's rent is going to come from?
