According to this article, "they're between 17 and 28 years old and comprise the most influential generational group since the baby boomers".
Australia has a habit of defining individuals in their generational gaps such as The Baby Boomers (your parents), Generation X (30-year olds) and of course, Generation Y, those that are born between 1979 and 1990. After that, we have Generation Z, the newest generation of brats which is another story altogether.
For the most part, Gen Y-ers are known to be technically savvy, has very high expectations, are impatient and most of the time, lazy. At least that's the bashing that Gen Y is regularly getting from the media. And I have met ones who would definitely fit the bill.
I am, however, trying to break the mold.
I'm M, in her mid-20's (higher half), a full-time worker, a renter and very independent.
J is my soon to be other half. We got engaged a few months ago. J is also in his mid-20's, also a full-time worker and we live together.
At the moment, we are trying to save up for a home deposit. Our goal is to have around $18,000 by June 2010. This blog would hopefully keep us in line and encourage us to save more.
