I agreed. I already used this today in a post by @nikema but "Money isn't everything, but is ranks right up there with oxygen and is the only thing that works at the grocery store."
That's one thing that I have come to see as a problem with classifying the Millennials is mixing the enlightenment with the entitlement. This sense of entitlement is the cancer as you really have no choice but to contribute to society in a positive manor and earn your place so you can make your own decisions (for the most part.) Balancing that out is the enlightenment I suppose and if folks learn the same lessons we did as young idiots, it can result in a good thing.
Anyhow, you can hate what you can't control, or you can work to master it and gain more control for yourself. Money included.
Very well put, Balancing it out is where the enlightenment comes in. Unfortunately in this day and age it's so too easy for our young to be ruined for life by a system (government) that thrives on raping the wallets of the people supporting it. Locking up these troubled teens is only fueling the problem. They don't have the same values as older americans, I mean how could they right. Punishing them should be the parents job not left to the corrupt system in place that kidnaps with no repricussion and harrasses the masses daily all for money. If you don't care about money.. your part of the problem I say! Let's make change!... lot's of pun intended :) vote @Adam Kokesh 2020
