They seem to be spending less (percentage wise) than the previous generation[1]. I can understand why some people would be upset if they were told, "Even though you're spending less than I did on luxuries, you're still spending too much." Particularly when they are told that getting a sandwich for lunch is a luxury they can't afford.

- gdix 9y agoWho says the previous generation spent the "correct" amount? Where in the contract that we all signed when we became adults did it say "The cosmos shall ensure that no generation should ever have to spend less than the previous generation on anything"?
