In my drinking days a mixed drink was $3.50 for good booze. Whats a top shelf drink these days $8.50? That's what I see too. Everything has to have a party or get together. Birthdays, showers, reveals, all are big budget. Everyone is a Kardashian now.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Just remember, these same types may eventually get into politics. You know, the ones that can't manage their own 100k plus budget may eventually want to help the country. And we wonder why we have such a huge deficit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) I really don’t see any formula that proves one generation is worse than the other. Whether it be boomers, gen x, millennials; a spending problem is a spending problem. A living problem is a living problem. Seeking short term gratification through having “stuff” and status is a recipe for financial issues and an unquenchable thirst for more. Those that live by this formula financially, typically have a wide variety of issues in other areas of their life. Relationships, satisfaction with life,, ability to relax, and many times some addiction issue. It’s as though these people get one essential formula for happiness confused and struggle figuring it out.

As opposed to those that have figured out a way to exploit their position of power for financial and wealth gain at the expense of their constituents? Or those that refuse to release their tax returns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about putting away for your future first and then watch as your plan starts to play out. Its not really complicated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s looking further into the issue than what’s on the surface. The only way to solve a major living problem is to figure out what’s missing in an individual’s life and understand that compensatory behaviors are driving these financial and other problems.

Birthdays, showers, reveals, all are big budget. Everyone is a Kardashian now.... My wife's 2 cousins (both male. Her dad's sisters son's one is 32 other 34) both have recently gotten married within the last 5 years and had their first kids. Seems like everything has been a competition to see who can out do the other one. Weddings were both ridiculous. One had 13 one each side for bridesmaids and groomsmen. The other had 14. Both the wedding receptions were really crazy. I'm guessing at least $4-500K each. Then the baby shower (and wedding showers) my wife said we're both ridiculous too. Then they both within the last 2 years just had birthday parties for their babies 1st birthday. She said they were like what you'd see at a wedding shower. Rented hall , all decorated, with ridiculous hors d'oeuvre's , food and desserts tables. Fucking ridiculous.

As i said they want instant gratification. it's not new but the instagram culture IMO has made it worse. My concerns were maxing out my 401k ASAP and getting my student loans paid off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
