Where I worked, all the young people (ALL of them) had the best and newest car, terrific house, took annual vacations, always had the newest and coolest phones, new clothes, etc. while I struggled .... even though I was making more.
They are the ones who whine about ‘income inequality’.
THEY do not save, and they live on their credit cards. They are fat lazy cattle with NO concept of how they will live past tomorrow or if there is a ‘dowturn’.
