I second that.

They made their bed, now they are looking for someone to give them a new, bigger bed to lie in.

To go one step further, see how many of these people have ANY money saved? Do they have a retirement plan? a bank account?
Heck, do they even have a spare-change jar for loose change?

Probably not, because they tend to think that why should THEY pay for "XXXXX" (insert "house, car, college, healthcare or welfare).

What I find compelling, as well as disturbing, is the general "got-to-have" mentality with the past couple of generations. They're not preparing and/or saving for the future, but living in the here and now.

(See savings comment above for reference.)
