I hate to say it but many (not all) of 20 to thirty somethings seem to “want it all and right NOW”. I don’t truly understand why? My parents told us frequently how they rented a small apartment first and how they scrimped on food, drove beat up used cars... while saving for a down payment for a small house. The idea was to start “small” and save while waiting to move up (when and if possible). Today, I see late 20 somethings to 30 somethings who get the big house first, brand new cars, vacations, designer clothes etc... What happened between the generations?
