RDK, your post is a great example of how you Boomers don't give a Brandon about the younger generations. "Stop complaining about how expensive things are. After all, you spoiled-ass kids are willing to spend $1,800 for a ticket to a Taylor Swift concert!" Is that what you are going to tell them when your generation was responsible for raising the cost of living so high that home ownership is not even in the realm of possibility for millennials and Zoomers? Is that what you are going to tell them when your generation was responsible for building up a federal debt to the tune of $34T? How about the bill of goods that you sold them when you told them that either they need to get college degrees, or they'll get "stuck in Iraq" (tm. John F'n Kerry)? All while you raised tuition to astronomical levels, made them take out loans, then promised to forgive them. What a deal! And wasn't it you Boomers who came up with the phrase, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"? Whatever happened to that, anyway? Seems like that's turned into "Ask not what your country is doing to you, ask what the oh-so-evil Republicans are doing to you." And you want to use Taylor Swift, who supports Brandon, by the way, as an example of how rich and spoiled the younger generation is these days? Give me a break. Tenchusatsu

> Tickets Last show I went to cost $35 and the music was great, I don't care how pretty they are. Had a great time, had the employees laughing so they found me a seat in the VIP section. I've never been to Starbucks, I drink organic tea or Earl Grey @ $0.15 a cup. I rarely eat at restaurants, only if a friend wants to meet there & I tip well, but I love to cook for friends and I'm good at it. Americans are lazy and spoiled... 3.5% inflation is a no biggie. Luxuries are an illusion. A penny saved is a penny untaxed, and a penny saved with no risk. A 20% discount on anything is better than most people gain in the markets with no risk & no taxes. A 3000% saving on a cup of tea vs Starbucks is a good deal and requires no gasoline.
