In as much as I'm alive and they're both dead, I'd have to say yes.

No. I might be slightly better off than they were at this point in their lives though

Yes. My 3 brothers and myself were all grown men before the 'trickle-down' theory of economics came into place, and I believe my younger brother (60 years old) and myself (68), both members of the CWA, were the last generation whose parents were 1st generation Americans, could almost guarantee their children a better life than theirs, as long as we tried.

In as much as I'm alive and they're both dead, I'd have to say yes. In some ways, yes; in other ways, no. Of course, I must agree with Ant-Mac--in most cases (not all), it's definitely better to be alive than dead.

As the old saying goes, "I'm here for a good time, not a long time."
Of course, it's up to the individual to judge whether or not they have an acceptable quality of live.

Good question. Honest answer? No. And that's actually kinda scary.

My parents are not and never were particularly well off financially. And neither am I. That said, at least they had paying jobs when they were in their 30s, whereas I'm unemployed some time now.

Not better, when all is said and done maybe a little worse off, but hopefully not too far off. Higher costs of living mostly. Adjusting to the fact I'm a single adult as opposed to a married couple with 4 kids I guess it would still be pretty close. I feel a lot worse because I grew up in a nice middle class house and currently rent a slightly lower middle class apartment.

Financially? No, not really. My father had a pretty good government job with a high salary, great benefits and a full pension (which he is still enjoying and hopefully will continue to enjoy for many years to come). I can't complain about my situation but barring an unlikely lottery win, my retirement won't be nearly as rosy.

Oh, sorry to hear that. Got any references or checked those online sites? Thanks. There's a job I've got my sights on at the moment. It requires doing a short two-month course first, but I think it would be a good fit for me. Here's hoping.

YES...but only because I had a well-paid unionised job and became a self-taught semi-expert in investing, tax minimization and other financial loopholes.
With the war on the middle and lower classes being so one-sided it is VERY doubtful that my children will be better off than me.
