Youre a member of Generation Y if...
Youre a member of Generation Y if...you keep on worrying about your life.You were often quiet at the dinner table, especially during those moments when your father recalled how he managed to find a home during your age. You turned 26 last fall, and you were still living with your parents. They dont mind, as long as you would tischset aside a fraction of your salary for the household expenses. You believed you could do better. You were green with envy at David, your coursemate, as he managed to travel around the Far East after your final year in the university. He seemed to have a balanced perspective on life, but you couldnt help but wonder if this would apply to all members of Generation Y.You visited the English Department a few weeks ago, as you missed your former life. Your former tutor was glad to see you, and she was amused when you told her about your problem. It wasnt uncommon among young professionals, she pointed out. They managed to find an apartment, even devote their tim e to volunteering. The skills they learned helped them climb up the career ladder.You dont want to blame the economy, the high cost of living in particular. But you seemed to reach a crossroad. Most members of Generation Y felt the saatkorn way. You honigwein your former housemates a few days afterwards, and talked about it. What you learned made you more confused. These were the things that they told youHaving lots of flatmates dont seem to be a good idea. John was an introvert, but he was a funny chap. Adventure could be his middle name, as he seek new experience. He shared a flat with two guys and a landlady who was sweet to them. Previous mates came in and out of the door quickly than he thought. Rent was the reason. He was lucky that his job kept him in the same place for two years, but he wasnt sure about next year. He wished he had his own home, but it might not happen anytime soon.Some dont relish singlehood. Robert was a mystery. He was a smart chap, even sensible to make J ohn jealous of him. In fact, he havent traveled to other countries. He wanted his own flat, saving as much as he could. But he couldnt find the time for dating. He became addicted to monthly salary. He enjoyed the company of his colleagues. (You thought it was unusual, as you never have the chance know your coworkers.) Robert didnt like the idea of singlehood during his middle age. John suppressed a laugh.Moving out might be the best option. John and Robert looked at you thoughtfully when you revealed your plan to move away. Not that you wanted to be away from family and friends, but you felt you were lost. Maybe you became too comfortable in your own room. There was the possibility of being unemployed for months, but moving out could be the right thing to do.You promised John and Robert to see them when it happened, but you sensed it you would be sooner than you thought.
