     Wow!
     
     Everyone talks about how bad the younger generation has it financially. When I look at how things have changed
     in 2 generations, there is so much waste. My grandparents rarely went out to eat, took the bus or walked…no
     internet, no cable, no smartphones, no big trips, no fancy clothes. They cooked simple meals, had hobby gardens,
     enjoyed the company of others, fixed things themselves and were generally frugal.
     
     Future generations have less opportunity than they had, but waste their money. Things need to change.
