What really is a shame about the Slackers’ excessive spending is that they’re burning money on terribly overpriced, redundant, and boring experiences (and ugly clothing mass-produced in other countries). You can travel to a lot of countries for so much cheaper (assuming you can tolerate not flying first class), stay at amazing 5-star hotels that still cost less than an average hotel in the US, and get exceptional service (the best service I’ve ever experienced beyond my expectations was in Istanbul) AND actually experience new cultures and cuisines.
The Slackers should really just market themselves as a close-minded clueless sheltered dysfunctional family who does the same boring shit in their stupid bubble of delusion. They want to be big fish in a little pond. Even when they’ve left their state it’s been to Disney bubbles. Then they act like they’re so brave and adventurous cause they leave their resort for one day.
But you know what Slackers? Keep burning that money like it’s a never-ending flow of income.
Maybe they don’t have to worry about retirement because with their lifestyle they might not make it to retirement age anyway. The world may be their palm tree currently but that tree is eventually going to keel over and die prematurely.
