Yes, although I believe Mitt spent most of his time at Bain Capital, rather than the consulting firm.
Mostly tech people. Web developers make $80k fresh out of college. Union and gov people also.
I see young people who I know buying luxury goods when they have heavy debt already. Items like iPhones and bottled water are silly.
I have had the good fortune to be friends with a woman in her fifties who owns about forty rental units and two other businesses. She has an old flip phone and takes her own self-bottled water and drinks everywhere. (She and her husband do all of their own roofing as well.)
The difference between being poor for life and eventually being rich are demonstrated above.
Like 4th generation welfare families double & triple dipping gov’t handouts buying all kinds of junk food, bling, fancy cars, etc.?
From the time I was tall enough to pay over the counter, I’ve had tremendous difficulty spending money. My mother would often comment on it, with a mixture of wonder and concern.
I think the problem was basically an inability to control the flow of common sense, in the presence of tagged merchandise.
My first salaried position was in retail, which exacerbated the problem. I became dulled to merchandise and even more sensitive to the value of a dollar, once I began actually earning dollars.
However, with caring and supportive family, I am finally overcoming this terrible affliction. Last week I bought my first set of glass shower doors. Seen my last plastic shower curtain liner.
Got my eye on a $700 desktop pc this week — better for recording music — but I should probably buy a better piano first, and I’m not quite ready for that.
I have to remember that I’m not a recovering penny pincher, I’m a natural born one.
I will always struggle.
Maybe they aren’t as stupid as they seem.
* They want to elect people like Bernie.
* When they do, their money will be confiscated by the govt.
* So spend all your money now.
Nah. They haven’t thought it through that far.
“This power shift between generations, away from the baby boomers towards younger shoppers, means the latter are now the growth engine of the market in every region globally,”
Except that they have no money.
Isn’t it funny we hear little about Gen X?
They spent their whole lives in shadow of the Boomers.
It’s like they don’t even exist.
Send a list of names and addresses to the fasctifa assclowns for next Satruday’s “event” so they’ll know where the good stuff is. They may not take it but they’ll sure enough break it.
And from Wiki...Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years.
Someone born in 1980 would be 37. Someone born in 2010 is only 7 years old....even if born in 1995, they are only 22 years old....this sounds like a bunch of hooey.
