Kids today, eh..?

There's an unintentionally hilarious piece on the BBC website today about young people and their lifestyle expectations into their forties. It seems they all think they'll be able to afford holiday homes, luxury cars and cosmetic surgery within the next two decades. They'll have to be earning the equivalent of £50K per annum if they want to do so.

Actually I see nothing wrong with a bit of ambition - if you hire someone young who's given themselves an inbuilt inclination to work very hard indeed that's surely a good thing. It's this idea that they'll all need cosmetic surgery once they're 40 that gets to me...

Have a good weekend Guy (40)
