The young people who avoid over-indulging on debt today will inherit the world. I'm the first to admit this process has taken a lot longer than I thought (I underestimated how many people would embrace cannibalism with such gusto). But they are the workers. They have the essential skills that everyone will need going forward. They will pay the taxes. They may not have the high net worth or the ballot box clout right now, but time and ability is on their side. And their numbers (i.e. the number of people on the wrong side of the policy-driven real estate affordability crisis) are the ones that are growing. On-paper millionaires need them more than they need on-paper millionaires.

It doesn't matter if some don't like this reality (branding them "entitled", etc.). Those people just need to think. They need to take 5 minutes and imagine what they would do if they were trying to start out in places like Vancouver today (without the benefit of inherited wealth).
