Gen Y

1. They spend around RM300-RM500 a month on entertainment and leisure
err...yes. I love to eat, i indulge in good food. i'm guilty as charged! most of the time, i love buying perfume and watching movie.

2. Their love for shopping has earned them the label of "dream consumers"
I rarely shop but when i'm in the mood, i spend quite relevant amount of money. hole in my pocket.

3. On a good day, they hang out at designer coffee outlets and indulge in good food, which easily comes to RM15 per meal
Used to hang out in Starbucks, on my winded up day. yes, when i need somewhere to escape, i run away from my routine. Now, takdak dah.

4. Many own the newest handphones, equipped with the latest technology. Doesn't matter if they are not technologically savvy enough to utilize all the functions; what is important is that they own something at par with what their peers have.
Almost there. Just the money stop me. gile hape nak kejar technology, couldn't afford it anymore. But the one with money definitely chasing after it. believe me, there are lots of people who have more money than sense.

5. Two-thirds know the price of an iPod, but three-quarters have no idea what a carton of milk costs.
i know both.

6. They have hundreds of illegally downloaded songs
er...did i? not hundreds, just hundred thousands je. :P. nothing cheaper than free eh.

7. One in 20 spends more than RM200 a month on mobile phone bills
I spent around RM 50 - RM 60 for phone bills. I think i know few people who spent more than RM 300 per month just for the phone bills. Valid statement i guess.

8. A number of them have more than one phone
1 number, 1 handphone, 1 headache. enough for me. i knew few friends who have up to 3 phone. yeah...busy "playing" around.

9. Many do not read the newspapers, or watch the TV news
I read newspaper, especially sport news. occasionally, i missed out things due to work. but i guess few of my friends hardly read newspaper or watch news. one thing that they read; entertainment news. well, not everybody interested in politics and world issue.

10. They are heavily dependent on 'helicopter parents' who hover protectively over their offspring
Most of us here quite independent. Eventhough sometimes we messed up with our expenditure, but somehow we always managed to get through it. I think i stop being dependent to my parent once i get into uni. some still depend on their parent; whether they yet to get on their feet or they just know their parent always there to save them from pinch. time will teach them once they learn to let go of the grasping hand. and the overprotecting parent pun kenalah let it go. let the kids grow.
