Gen Y

Gen Y have an easy life, but they seem to think its very hard.

I'm convinced that the Buy it Now button on eBay was created just to satisfy Gen Y.
It does seem that Gen Y live their life with a Buy it Now mentality.
Seemingly oblivious to the fact that things exist out side of the material world, and the belief that only real things are for sale, Gen Y live on credit, with little regard for the mechanism that might provide the funds for these material pleasures.

I'm sure if on eBay a buy it now, and a have it now function existed, Gen Y would be over the moon, that they could click a button and have the latest pointless product in their hands. They'd also be real happy that this function was created just for them.

Sickies are a situation where Gen Ys really show their true colours, invariably they will be sick on a Monday or Friday, and if you are lucky enough to be told by a Gen Y that they are sick they will probably do it by a faceless email or worse sms (to ill to turn the PC on).

Gen Ys also think it's their born right to have the best job that exists, the best car that exists, and the best house that exists, this is of course before they even get on the career ladder.

Face to face communication or worse still communication via a phone call seems to be a skill very foreign to Gen Y,  two Gen Ys sitting within sight of each other will always go for the 'safe' option and send an email, if feeling brave they might send a sms, the thought of face to face communication, with its threat of the spread of disease, or worse still communication of some type of emotion, is terrifying for Gen Y.

Gen Ys never have any money. When Gen Ys tell you this, they are actually saying, I get paid really well, and all my money is going towards my IProduct/Tattoos/Gym Membership/Fake body  parts/car repayments rather than spending it on life's staples, such as food, rent, mortgage etc.

When Gen X has all retired, it'll be interesting to see what Gen Y do when they run the world....
