i think many gen x hoped to retire at 40 but most failed.

gen y now wants to retire at 30? gen z will want to retire at 25 then?

the stark truth is gen x survives mostly on hard savings, gen y on debt.

at this rate, when gen x exhausts all savings upon death while gen y gets old but still living in debt, what will gen z live on?

well, the movies will show crowded sheds, polluted air and water, very little meat on the table, etc... how grim!
i like the song... mike n mechanics' living years:

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
