npr:

Starting Oct. 6, Egg McMuffins, hotcakes, hash browns and more will be available all day at McDonald’s.

On Tuesday, the company officially approved the decision to offer breakfast items all day at its more than 14,000 U.S. locations, which generally stopped selling the menu items around 10:30 or 11 a.m. The restaurant giant has been testing the all-day breakfast plan at select locations in the U.S. since this spring, and based on the results, franchises voted in favor of expanding the offering.

McDonald’s USA President Mike Andres is optimistic the expansion could revitalize McDonald’s drooping sales.

If we’ve learned one thing, it’s that if we complain long and hard enough, we can accomplish anything.

My thoughts on “The Cheapest Generation”

From the article“What if Millennials’ aversion to car-buying isn’t a temporary side effect of the recession, but part of a permanent generational shift in tastes and spending habits? It’s a question that applies not only to cars, but to several other traditional categories of big spending—most notably, housing.” So, the question becomes “why?”
For me, I think that it’s not so much about costs or income or anything, it’s just about the changing values of society.
Disclaimer: I am a middle class white college student with minimal debt and looking forward to a relatively lucrative career money-wise in the STEM field.
I just don’t have the same goals or desires that my parents’ generation did. I don’t really care to have children. I don’t want to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into a house that may or may not be worth more when I choose to move on. I don’t necessarily want to live in one place for 30 years to pay off a mortgage. I don’t care that I have a perfect lawn and tons of space to live in.
I care about internet. I want a nice computer. I want cool gadgetry that will make my life easier. I love music, and I want to go to concerts and have nice speakers. I want to travel. I don’t care if I work until I’m 90, because I intend to love what I do. I don’t want to buy a car if I don’t need a car. If it doesn’t make sense to own one, I won’t. If it makes more sense to rent than to purchase a house, then I will.
