Jesus . Did nobody ever teach the kids, if you can’t afford it, do without? (Not counting necessities of course). Like I thought the keeping up with appearances thing wasn’t that big, but I’m starting to see that it’s very real. Like the idea of debt terrifies me.
No. They are taught that you can't do without and you should do whatever you can do to get it. Which means take on massive debt and worry about it later. YOLO
Oof. I feel like it’s my generation’s fault somehow, but I don’t think we’re old enough to have kids that are that old. Maybe it was gen X? But I just can’t see either melleniels (my brain can’t spell it right now for some reason) or gen x teaching that? But maybe I’m wrong. Or maybe it’s the greater society that instills it instead of their parents.
