Is it young people's duty to learn to manage a low-budget life?

Independence often requires a self-taught lesson. As for budgeting specifically, while the individual has their own responsibility to themselves to guarantee their own survival, it’s welcomed for family and friends to offer education they have from their own experiences.

It is everyone's duty to learn to live within their means.

I've been living low-budget before Bidenomics

it's the smartest thing one can do regardless of time period

It's in their best interest to learn to be independent, yes.

Duty? Not exactly.
But you'll make yourself suffer if you don't do it.

Not duty, but it's a very useful skill to have

No, low budget living is economic failure.
