I think you hang out with losers that derive their sense of self-worth from their personal (or mommy and daddy’s) spending power. Maybe instead of extrapolating big picture conclusions from your anecdotal evidence, you should expand your horizons, get out there, and experience more life.
Also, saying “this generation” on the internet is a bit like saying “look over there” without pointing in a direction… We can infer that you’re talking about one of the younger three generations, but without context, your whole argument is muddied and pointless. It’s pedantic, I know, but if you’re gonna dole out criticisms on a whole generation universally, it’s only fair you get some in return.
What the hell are you talking about about? Who is out there “scoffing” at those who save?
Sometimes I wonder how awesome the Internet would be if people didn’t constantly spout some made up bullshit as fact.
People do tend to follow the “parked money is lost money” mentality, but that’s more about saving vs investing.
Lol, what? Are you just upset because I’m calling out reality?
“What are you, poor?” You’ve never heard anything along these lines when criticizing the price of something?
Either you need more life experience, or you’re talking out of your bum.
I think you are one of those proud consumers I’m talking about, which is why you pretend my critique doesn’t make any sense.

You mean, most Americans? Especially those who live in major cities? Color me surprised.
