Response to kristin Shea's Generation Y Post 2/13

Do you find yourself in need of a constant new item or toy? Do you find yourself to be a big spender or saver? 

              I find that for me personally I consider myself to be a saver. To me it is more important to have money in the bank for unexpected events and obstacles than to have the latest gadget. While most of our generation grew up as children in an age of American prosperity the recent recession that has affected this whole nation has changed many within our generation from  spenders to savers. Especially within these last five years the value of a dollar is better understood by our generation and the realization that it is better to be comfortable and not worry about money or debt than to have an expensive or new product. While this is not true for everyone I think more people, not just in our generation but in every generation, have noticed a change in their spending habits and have become more wary and frugal with spending.
