Rewind, pedes- the government institutions of daycare and indoctrination did their jobs and brainwashed generations of kids successfully to look to the government and big business for all the answers. We're simply in the dying phase of all that. Those families who stuck to God or returned to God have no problem finding motivation to be productive. There are some self-starters who do it on their own as well. But the drive to make a life for oneself starts optimally with the parents. Not too late to find Christ and start taking on missions for the family or church.
