Young people enjoy life more than older people do.

 

    In modern society, it has been controversial whether young people enjoy life more than older people do. However I believe that young people spend more lots of time and money on their life than older people do.

 

To begin with, young people spend a lot of time enjoying their life. As a matter of fact, as society in Korea getting complex and competition-oriented, approximately 85 percent of workers in Korea overwork and repeat the same task over and over again. So they have a lot of stress from the routine working systems. A recent survey conducted by the government showed that over 90% of young workers in Korea prefer to spend more money on leisure activities. Also, survey conducted by the government showed that if they spend a lot of time on activities, people who are spent on leisure released stresses and feel better. However, only about 10% of older people prefer to spend money enjoying life.

 

In addition, older people have a tendency of saving money for their children's education fee. Since the society is highly competitive with thousands of prominent figures that an individual must prevail over, people in the present days exert tremendous efforts to be superior to others. Thus, young people need to have more money for their education. Also, most of the old people try to provide their children with lots of education fee due to children's financial problems. However, due to arrival of individualism, nowadays, young people even do not save mush money for education of their future children even if they spend much time what they want to do and spend money on buying what they want to have.

 

In conclusion, I strongly believe that young people enjoy life more than old people do.
