Old moneyists and post war families planned their financial affairs both for themselves and the future generations of their families.
This model was similarly adopted by politicians. The thinking was long term.
The babyboomers reduced their depth of field and focussed their efforts on the next generation and only the next generation. Their rallying cry was ' We're doing it for the kids'.
Their offspring focussed on themselves and everyone was living in the moment - Punks, hippies, yuppies. Various shades of exactly the same philosophical colour.
The current generation is borrowing everything from the future in order to slake their insatiable appetite for useless shit today. This version of non-planning applies personally, locally, nationally and globally.
Where next? There is only one place beyond the future. The End !!
