I just golfed yesterday with two guys in their early 30's. During the round they told me about their recent 2 week trip to Europe (3 cities) and the golf courses they played in Ireland for approx $200 Euro's each. Their adventures at the blackjack table, nightclubs and the 5star Michelin restaurants they dined at. After the round they discussed the other countries they wanted to visit and if they should go to a friends wedding in Italy. Then in the next breath, one of them says that their generation has been screwed by the older generation and they will never be able to catch up. He complained that he could not afford a house even though he makes good money. By conservative estimates he probably just blew 10K or more on a two week trip... could this not be used towards a house lol? My wife and I just marvel at the behaviour and attitudes we encounter.. we would never have considered a trip like that till our house was paid off etc etc, etc.
