why do elders/parents keep telling young people to stop complaining and work hard when they had it easier than millenials?

im only curious cause i heard my grand parents and my parents tell my kids to work hard to buy a house but its not the same. For example my grandparents paid almost 20k for their house, and my parents 80k. But my kids today (living in Auckland) have to pay almost $1 million for a home. A deposit will take them almost 15 years to save up and by then they will be in their late 30s before they even start paying for their mortgage. I really do not think the concept of hard work in the past is the same concept today.

Yea but your grandparents also only made like $3 an hour so it evens out.
