[quote=Anonymous]They're living on their own terms bc the ones in the workforce are ages 22-26 right now. They aren't in their lifetime jobs or even their lifetime careers. They are doing whatever they're doing for 2 years or whatever and then will move onto the next gig or business school or law school or whatever (though I do see less eagerness to take on more debt for more schooling so maybe not but they'll job hop).

So of course while they're young and single and living amongst friends they want to have time to hang out at the breweries or live music concerts or take road trips or whatever and they realize that an extra 10k in pay or whatever to keep them chained to their desk/work phone is not worth it. Frankly with this gen if they want an extra 10-20k, they'll cook up some nothing social media account that they'll work on on their own time with their own flexibility.

And like with all generations of course this will change. They'll get older. They'll want "security." Most will have kids - whether they say they want them today or not. Most will own some kind of home or apartment and thus have a mortgage. Most will want to retire. The forces that drive each gen aren't different - they just haven't kicked in yet for a gen that is under age 26.[/quote]
