Middle class parents have always saved up money, cutting out trivial expenses When kids get their own money, they want to shake up things - order in or eating out. Dragging down the health (and wealth) that parents built over the years
Was in a mall food court and saw parents - simple and humble - enjoying the little burger and fries, while being proud of their son/daughter being all grown up I am guilty of this too
WHy are we like this
It's their hard earned money. They have seen the days when they didn't have anything. So, it's fine they are spending that money with their parents enjoying their food rather than spending in some wrong way. I guess this is beautiful.
I face this too. Oftentimes I use to bring ice cream and pastries for my mom and dad. My dad have control he doesn't like much. But my mom now craves the ice cream and pastries like she is a kid. Now I have to explain her how it uses palm oil and maida. Lets make it at home. She sometimes now bake a cake at home. Tastier then outside pastries. As ice cream we ate frozen mango shake.

Burgers aren't splurge ðŸ«

If our parents had the same money and going out options back in their day, they would have done the same.

The vision of working from scratch to build wealth has made so many families be in middle class Dowry also pushed families from wealthy to working class Raising kids as frustrated, tired individuals - Such a shitty arrangement imo
We don't appreciate it as much but the poor diet and much more stressful city life that our generation is leading is VERY different from what our parents saw.
We've seen people in our parents generation get BP, Diabetes, Sugar, other...
