Y-Gen dealing with the economic crisis

You know you're a Y-Gen living in the current economic climate if:

1. You are devastated about your parents and or grandparents recent financial losses because
a) you were planning on asking them for another loan;
b) you were looking forward to your inheritance;
c) they've lost their super and may rely on you more;
d) all of the above.

2. You think twice before buying that second, third, fourth coffee/beer/wine - but you buy it anyway;

3. You learn a new concept called 'disposable income' and realise that you're not supposed to spend your entire weekly income;

4. You are mystified about the sudden concern of job losses (but start thinking about using the skills you were taught at uni just in case);

5. You are so glad that you got your parents to clear your credit card debt before the bubble burst;

6. You bless your cotton socks that you're single, child-less and that if you actually own any property your parents can or do cover the monthly payments.
