The generation of my parents could indeed afford nice houses.
Seeing this, I understood it will be worth to study hard and learn a lot, then go for a typical job.
But the equation does not hold now.
What carrots will the next generation learn to follow? I am afraid it will rather be the stick.
- Whoppertime 3y agoHere's an easy carrot. Percentage of food budget spent on restaurant meals vs Home Cooking. Look at some of those pie charts over time and you'll see how often our parents generation went out, or their parents generation went out for dinner
- xenonite 3y agoFunny, I actually prefer my own carrots, or home-cooked meals for the matter. Thanks for the idea. Probably there are several further aspects that are “better” today: cheap electronics, access to information, etc. To me, these amenities however seem rather optional compared to having a roof over the head.
