Over half of Canadians are $200 or less away from not being able to pay bills

I can relate to how you feel.

As you're saying, I don't intending to be all "woe is me" either, but yeah I do to find it hard to relax and not focus on the current financial insecurity of my generation.

I feel like I did everything right in regards to going to college and getting an education in a skilled field so that I could dig myself out of a life of poverty. Now I'm searching for a job (mind you it's only been a couple weeks) and all the employers want 2-3 years experience for entry-level roles. Even something as simple as help-desk, like are you foreal? Bitch please.

I'm also constantly worrying about money and feel guilty whenever I spend on small things like a coffee or cheeseburger. I haven't even went out for drinks since graduating because I'm too concerned with holding on to the very small amount of money I have to hold me off until I find gainful employment.

I sometimes think I'm to negative but really I feel like I'm just to aware of things. While most will just try to forget about it and not think about it, I just can't. The world economies are fucked because of pure greed and mismanagement by previous generations and young people today don't stand a chance.

How can you prove yourself when nobody is willing to give you a shot? Many older people scoff at young people and don't care to give them the time of day. They fail to see the importance of investing in young people today so they can lead tomorrow. As long as their own kids are ok that's all that matters.
