“I’ve been good all week, I deserve a treat.” “I’ve been driving around in a beat up car for years; I am entitled to spoil myself a little.” “I spent all that time in college; I deserve a good job, and nice things.” “I need that new phone, everyone else has one, why shouldn’t I have it too?”

Heard anyone saying something along these lines lately, or maybe even caught these words coming out of your own mouth? I wouldn’t be surprised. Our nation, especially those in the younger generations, has fallen into the sickness of entitlement-osis. A new generation with a sense of entitlement is effecting the attitudes about consumerism and the workplace nationwide.
