Could this have been brought on by our education system? “Hey kids, you can have it all”.That attitude has far more to do with commercials and the other trappings of consumer society.
Oh, I disagree. I do agree that attitude does permeate the advertising industry but it is also prevalent in the public school system. Look how much sex education they promote in school. “Yes kids, do it, but be safe and there will be no consequences.”
Why is it that housing prices have gotten so high in the last 10 to 15 years and young people want the brand new house? I got into my first house (not new. Actually about 60 years old and it was old)by scrimping and taking out a separate loan to afford the down payment. That was 35 years ago. I’m still in that house. The education system tells the students that they deserve the best and guess what, they believe it.
