Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World.

If you know me, you know I love a bit of generational warfare.

And of course, I do believe that Gen X is the greatest generation.

And I will die on that hill with a bunch of other Gen Xers.

Because, you know, we had the best childhoods.

We were technology-free.

We were feral children who were trusted to come home with our BMX gang when the sun had finally set in order to eat our dinner with our hands.

And we didn't have helicopter parents, which we have turned into and ruined the next generation that considers themselves to be the greatest generation because all they do

is take things that every other generation has already done and rename them and kind of

repackage them and try and voice them on everyone else as though they have invented these

great ideas which have been tried and tested throughout the millennia by their parents, grandparents, and ancestors

who suffered through all sorts of pestilence and poverty in order to find better ways to live usually through peasanthood.

So what are Gen Zers doing that they think they have invented?

Well, there's a number of things.

One, this new idea of cash-only weekends.

The idea of taking money out from the ATM and only spending what you have,

they believe this is a revolutionary concept

because they have been raised in a digital world where they've always had social media and

smartphones. And now everyone uses their smartphones to pay for everything. And anything you want

at all times, whether it's DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Amazon can be procured because your credit card is already embedded in the app.

So it feels like everything is free.

Money is theoretical.
