Want to know what spurred that PM? The thread about the $300 jeans.

What's your point here? Sure they're will be members of that generation including myself who save,
choose to pay their own way through university, and understand the concept of money. However in my experience there are many more who simply don't get it and the sense of entitlement many of this generation have is ridiculous.
I will however agree with you that our generation has, for lack of a better word, become "better" than past generations in that we were more knowledgeable, innovative, etc. But we've also taken steps back in terms of respect, hard work, etc.
Oh and with the 300$ jeans (at least for the raw denim) I could actually break it down economically to show you that it's not as expensive as it sounds on the surface.
