Sometimes I feel like I am the only person in an office of hundreds that doesn't take a trip down south every winter. And that includes all the young punks.
I don't think it's a generational thing anymore, and I think it's funny that the old resent the young as much as the young resent the old. We are all long gone, as a society. Our metric of reasonable spending has gone through the roof. And I honestly don't know how everyone does it. I'm an engineer, make a good wage, I drive a POS, I lived in the NE for 10 years and I don't have all that much for good lulz after everything's paid for. I'm sure three kids and only one income doesn't help, but still. I'm sure I make as much as a lot of people with dual incomes, especially after daycare is considered.
