Who are yuppies?
Every day we hear stories about young and successful people. They are intellectuals, experts in their field, climbing up the career ladder.
A healthy lifestyle and trips to the fitness center are their prerogative. They are well-dressed, tasteful, well-mannered and incredibly self-confident.
It would seem a fabulous life. These people are role models!
From English yuppie (Yuppie, Young Urban Professional) means "Young urban professional." This applies to both men and women. This group of people has a well-paid job, follows fashion and is simply trending.
What unites them all?
Let's look at a number of common features.
1. They know how to search and find a prestigious job. The key here is tremendous self-confidence. Yuppies know that they have one or more higher educations, they are competent and know their worth. Therefore, it is not surprising that they earn a lot.
2. They live beyond their means, spend, do not save. To be a true yuppie, you must earn good money. But, also big and spend. Constantly updating the phone is not a luxury, but a need to be in the subject. Shoes are necessarily a well-known brand, otherwise how to get out of the house?
3. Leisure. Any self-respecting yuppie must constantly go out, visit sushi bars and nightclubs, go to film premieres. For many yuppies, a great leisure is to go to the fitness center. This stress helps to relieve, and you can brag of such a subscription if necessary.
4. Personal transportation. Well this is not even discussed. Where can I go without my own car, even if taken on credit?
What is hidden under expensive packaging?
Everything is beautiful and good when you observe it from the side. But if you look at the situation from the inside? It turns out that yuppies are not as successful in all areas of life as in business.
Health. Yes, they have subscriptions to expensive fitness centers. Often a monthly subscription can exceed the average salary in the country. But can they be an example of people leading a healthy lifestyle? Most probably not. They leave all their health at work, in their thoughts - constantly in the upcoming transaction.
On average, an active and successful yuppie works from 12 to 20 hours a day!
A family. Given that they do not have enough time for themselves, what can we say about how their wives and families suffer. Yes it's true. Usually 1 partner prefers this type of people, often this is the wife. But what does this wife have to go through if she sees her spouse once a week ?!
Is there even a joke about how they manage to have children if they don’t even spend time together?
Yuppies donate a lot. When we get to know them, we envy them. Their life seems perfect to us. But is it really so? Would you like to spend your life and health at work?
So what is Alzheimer yuppie - a new disease or a fashionable state of successful people over 30?
To call this fashionable phenomenon a disease or not is up to you. One thing is for sure, that the consequences of such a life areand they are far from positive.
Family and relationships with loved ones are the most expensive that we have. Without spending time with these people, it is impossible to have a close and warm relationship.
This disease can be called a disease in the sense that such people forget that in the pursuit of a good life, they lose it - life itself. They do not have time to live and enjoy those simple joys that push us to work.
Slow down or chase in the same rhythm - you decide. In the meantime, do you think this is the reality of our life, or can we still stop?
