Gen Ys are money dummies :
"However, the desire for instant gratification has left them with big aspirations but no real plan to save or budget in order to achieve their dreams."
They are the haves. So someone else will supply it and they are very good at getting what they want. The younger ones are not much different. I was talking to a 13 year old a couple of months ago.
So what do you want to do when you leave school?
Shop.
There was quite a silence. I hadn't anticipated the response I got.
Shop?
Yes.
So how will you pay for the things you buy?
Mum and Dad.
Your Mum and Dad will keep you in a life of shopping when you grow up?
Yes.
I was too embarrassed to take it any further. A nice girl, with a good brain but a victim of the material world and the profit and not people model. Sad really. Adults have brought them up. This is what we have made them.
