“a $200 bedspread for her dorm room.”
—
I’ve never owned a $200.00 bedspread in my life.
The kids today don’t have a clue.
I have a grandson who goes to a pricey college fly across the country to visit a friend for 4 days.
Astonishing to me.

The difference between Millenials and our generation, is that our parents did not pay for our luxuries. The only exception was if your parents were rich. My generation paid for our own stuff. We had cheap cars, and high tech was not in place, so we had no computers and i phones. Back in my day,kids lived in dorms in college. Now, parents are funding apartments for their children to live in. The problem is, those kis are not going to have the same lifestyle as their parents, and they are now angry.
