Keeping track of the favorite TV serial or programs, staying updated with latest gadgets, keeping track of the going-ons in friends’ life- all these things may be easier to maintain for the youth of this generation rather than keeping track of their financial details.

Money is what rules the young mind most. So when the young hands have money they spend it recklessly. They don’t really care about how they will gather their pocket money in near future.
