Evil Mind

I don’t buy the anti-capitalist diatribe, but doesn’t she have a (tongue-in-cheek) point that some young people do tend to spend a lot and can therefore needlessly get into trouble? This doesn’t mean that anything should be ‘done’ about it, but that perhaps they ought to think about saving more for their own sake. Should I not be salary-sacrificing into super?

Wishing financial hardship on to others is perverse, even in a tongue-in-cheek sense. The assumption that people don’t save is simply wrong. In aggregate people do save, when you net out household sector assets and liabilities.
