GEN Z have been mollycoddled, trigger warnings and safe spaces. Now three-quarters of them say they would face a mental breakdown if confronted with an unexpected £300 expense because they didn't save anything for a rainy day, as we were taught to do. How do they cope with the high cost of student fees, because they are a lot higher than that.
A majority of my generation didn't go to university because our parents couldn't afford to send us, we were sent to work to help support the family financially, like our ancestors did. I had three part-time jobs at age 13, at that age, I was saving up to buy my own clothes and shoes.
At age 15, I was working full-time six days a week and sometimes worked a couple of evenings too. Teenagers have a lot of energy and work is healthy for them mind, body and soul. The earlier they experience the real outside world, the faster they learn to cope with it.
My generation were taught "Waste not, want not".
The Gen Z generation (1995-2008) most were born with Pluto in Sagittarius, one of the reasons they tend to spend a lot on travelling and holidays instead of saving. Sagittarius is the traveller. Hence, they're more inclined to desire to work abroad or study abroad.
The generations prior (1971-83) Gen X many were born with Pluto in Libra, Libra like harmonious colours and balance in their lives. Millennials were born (1983-95) they were born with Pluto in Scorpio, they're very secretive.
