In modern society we raise our children to believe there will always be a bright future ahead of them, we pride ourselves on telling them that they can be anything they want to be but as an individual we rarely take the steps to make that a reality.
As parents you always want to do your best to support your children and to save money for their future so that they can do anything they want, however there lies a problem in that statement alone, one major problem is that the rich are getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class are floating a fine of loosing everything because of the amount of debt the average person has.
If we cannot save enough money for our children to go to school then the next generation is going to have the same problem so many of us are already facing, that problem is debt. Debt is something almost every person deals with on a regular basis and for some people it can be impossible to save for the future of their child because they have to first worry about feeding that child.
When the time comes for the next generation to go to school, they will have to incur a decent amount of debt in order to do what they've always wanted to do. This is one of the problems our modern society faces and it's something we have to avoid for our children, one way to achieve this is by working with them and educating them more about the proper use of money. The value of a budget is going to grow in the coming years.
Other major problems the next generation faces is health care issues, with the baby boom generation getting closer to their retirement age, more hospitals will have to accompany them, even though most of our current hospitals are already overflowing and understaffed. One solution to this would be to encourage more of our children to take up a career in health care but if we do that we are no longer letting them be anything they want to be.
One of the last major topics in the news that the next generation will have to face is the growing fear of global warming, we still don't have very much information on this topic, we do know that humans are a major problem in global warming and we know the effects global warming can cause on our climates but we still don't have any real clue of how to deal with these major changes, our governments are lowering C02 emissions in an attempt to reverse the damage already done but we have to ask ourselves is it too late? Or can we still save the planet we all live on? I personally believe we will
