Not by shopping. Frivolous buying is over. Being cautious
when you shop and get the best bargain is the key. Avoid the temptation to
spend money. Go to the library rather than buy books. Retrain children to a
different style of living.
Everything is cyclical. The next generation is learning how
to do more with less. Doing your hair or nails is being delayed. People wait
longer to spend money. Spending on services is declining so all are suffering.
Economic recovery is short-term. Younger generations are
changing. Our parents were raised with a post-Great Depression mindset. Our
generation lived with significant disposable income. Now, our children have no
jobs. They struggle financially and move back home after college. They have
different needs and don’t want to work as hard as we did. The Baby Boomer
generation is the most productive generations from a “work hard” perspective
yet we’re victims of age discrimination.
