Our society is doomed. The young generation is obsessed with engrossing themselves in materialism. They are in love with bodily pleasures. Their religion is the work of corporations (OMG BABY YODA). Men would rather check out of society and play vidya games and escape into star war movies and women would rather throw their high heels on and party until they are 40, at which point they drink wine in their house full of cats, prescribed 10 different anti-depressants and anti-psych meds.

People are living dangerous lives of escapism. Putting themselves into a false fantasy in an attempt to reach a state of bliss. Ironically, the more they try to reach this state, the deeper they dig themselves into a hell.

Millennial here, I hate consuming product. I usually can watch the same movies/play the same video games I have and rotate every so often. I really like playing games and doing stuff with other people but most people are busy and can't meet irl to play board games/miniature war games. I know a lot of Millennials though who do love to consume product but it seems weird to me.

My one friend for example, great guy, consumes product to a staggering degree. He spent most of his 20s living at home with his parents and worked part to full time jobs. Spent ALL his money on video game shit. A year or 2 ago he dropped 1k on VR and only ever played it like 5 or 6 times. Has a bunch of board games he's only ever played once which cost a hundred dollars+ each. Buys video games and only plays them once or twice. I know other people who do similar things. I think he consumed product to escape his own shitty life though. Now that he got a steady gf, things have gotten a little better for him because he's starting to realize he isn't going to be in his 20s forever.

That literally is consuming you dolt. Producing is things like making pottery or creating art, or going on nature trails and hiking and camping to create your own experiences and bettering yourself. Consuming is enjoying an experience that someone else created, whether it's watching a movie, playing games, especially if you're paying for the product.

Consuming, as in consuming product, involves spending money on consuming product. I don't spend money consuming product or getting excited for next product. My money goes elsewhere and I'm not really a economic "consoomer".

Faggots like you don't understand the nuance of being a consumer. All that money you blow on your art products, camping gear, and other shit on a regular basis makes you more of a consumer than myself.

Because it is hanuka, the day of forgiveness, I will let your hostile ignorance slide.

It is rational behavior to spend money instead of waiting in low interest and inflationary environments.

This is why Japan is doing their big negative interest rate experiment. They need people to spend. Capital moving through the economy can stimulate it. They need to accelerate wage growth and capital expenditure.

You should do some research into the deflationary spiral. I'm not saying any of this is good, but it means it makes more sense to buy a new airconditioner now then wait a few years. I hope you understand

I absolutely hate the millennial bashing. There is a massive psyop of corporate depersonalization, consumption, multicultural liberalism. But, nooo, you millennials just need to stop crying and pick yourself up by your bootstraps.

OP i’m constantly wavering between 1k and 2k, I moved into my first apartment recently and my car keeps shitting itself. I’m 20, I don’t really consoom but i feel like I should have more money (military). Am I fucked if I can’t produce 5k at this time in my life?

I am legitimately frightened of the day these idiots get what is coming to them. When the economy crashes and they must pay their bills and debt payments without any savings to support them, will they turn on those of us who were responsible? Will I have to pay for their mistakes?
In a just world, I wouldn't concern myself about this. They would get what they deserve and nobody would pay any attention to their pathetic envy. However, we don't live in a just world. These people are numerous and they vote.

What are you even talking about? I never said that I have debt (I don't and never have) or anything about generations either. I'm speaking about this in general. Both millennials and zoomers overwhelming have debt and little savings. I was saying that I fear for the few of us in those generations that are the exception. I don't want to get taxed more to pay for other people's retarded mistakes.
