Well, at least they've had the opportunity to live well. This post war generation hasn't known any war like their parents did and hasn't known unemployment or competition with immigrants like they children do or will.

I'm pretty the life of lots of young germans has already taken a financial turn while their retire is far away...

But yes, if I were them, I'd worry for the future. Who's going to pay for their pension? Certainly not the children they didn't have. I even doubt Turkish will pay for them .

LOL Day dream! They're stone, I tell you.
