It’s Affluenza Season

Take special precautions, it’s affluenza season. It’s that time of year when your wants become needs and your wallet seems to hinder you from those “necessities.” Affluenza is a nonphysical disease that has affected many Gen Yers. Here are some of the signs of affluenza:

- Your Christmas wish list grows after watching 30 minutes of TV.
- The things you have become dull.
- You become depressed after glancing at your bank accounts, or lack thereof.
- In severe cases, your perception of material “needs” can lead to blindness.
