Anything less, they don't want it and I can't say I blame them.
Welcome to the Forums, Harry Heffalump.
We hear a lot about the "me" generation and in the background, that's what we're discussing here. I want more for me, not for the boss, not for my kids or grandchildren. People don't see the long term value off paying off the mortgage, they want t6 move to a bigger house every few years. You no longer progress up through the company, you want more, you go to another company. Lots of changes. Few qualify for pensions and don't always have the self-discipline to save and/or invest.
