I don't think it has as much to do with the generational shift as it does the ever increasing trend towards "short-term'ism."

What $ amount do you consider a fortune, or what amount does one need to be wealty in your opinion?
The oportunities I speak of are not monetary but what your ancestors sacraficed so that you could become successful. Genetics aside, how many left everything to come to this country to be free and start over? How many struggled to just eek out a living for their family? These were the things that were done to create opportuniiesnfor thier children.
If you haven't already done so, you will become interested in your "roots" when you
enter your 60's. Delving into your families history, you will find out what I am talking about. There are no self made men without someone who sacraficedfor them or who have been fortunate enough to have great mentors.
Having gratitude for them is a great blessing.
Anyway corporate "shortermism"
, they have become that greedy that
there are no longer ten year corporate plans?
