In 2011, only 12% of respondents to the Junior Achievement Teens and Personal Finance Survey said they would probably be financially dependent on a parent or guardian until the age of 27. According to the newly released 2013 survey [PDF], that rate now stands at 25%. Meanwhile, those who are completely unsure of when or if they will ever be dependent has jumped from 1% in 2011 to 11% in 2013.

It may be because they are more tuned into the planetary alignments and they know on some level that a new way of living is just around the corner. Sort of fuck this I am waiting for that.

Endemic use of plastics mimicking estrogen has lowered testosterone rates throughout the western world, just for starters.

With both parents working, and exhausted, there is no bandwidth to pay attention to the development of offspring.

Culture has moved to the left where everything is excused and blamed on someone or something else.

Competition has been turned into a dirty word through our liberal school systems, and nobody wants to hurt anyone's self esteem by having "winners" and "losers" so the distinction never gets hardwired into their brains.

The absolutely normal desire to succeed is sidetracked by temporary satisfactions in a virtual world of games.

NWO planned for decades.

Sugary diet.

I lost my whole post, it was long winded anyway but maybe this generation that lives in the present and doesn't plan for the future is creating a null.

If our thoughts create reality....what if a generation showed up that didn't think like we did? That wasn't creating the future paths that we have imagined in our lives but is instead just living in the present?

A new reality on the rise?

About Null Zones


Null Zones irrevocably break up long established patterns, entrenched belief systems and basic behaviors. Old structures, both physical and non-physical, may be demolished in an instant. Our inner or outer landscape is dramatically reconfigured. Many of these are things that we have heavily identified ourselves with -- for they defined who we are and the world we live in. They were the building blocks of our old world, the ones that kept us locked into the world of duality. These include old roles which we felt defined who we are, the work we do, the physical environment that we live in and our normal pattern of daily activities and social interactions.


Generation null zone is scary for us not them...

This post is not the same as the other that I lost but it's my latest idea.

I think there are different degrees of null zoners, kinda bummed that I accidently clicked my last post into oblivion. That is an attatchment to the immediate past, are they just not attached? Generation attachment disorder?

I asked the question of whether they incarnated knowing something that we don't about this period in time. Or if they incarnated to heal the planet what would that look like? Would it be like not investing in the way things are?

if a guy isn't interested in marriage, he's not interested in having a family, he's just lookin out for himself, he's not really motivated.

If you had parents who were absolutely miserable it can kill your desire to ever get married, or have a family. Especially if you hate your fuckin family, you just generally have no desire to have a family of your own. If you hate your own race, you really have no desire to create more people like yourself.

LOL! Not a very good comparison. Every Dr. Jekyll has his own Mr. Hyde...

No, now, seriously. That's not your boy's fault, that's for sure. It's the general context, it's simply a sick one for everything and everyone. It's beyond common logic. But the show must going on, you know, simply keep going ahead and God bless us!

It's just me, or there's really something deeply nihilistic in the mind & emotions of the last, younger generations (specially the present twentiers & teenagers)...

...but, who ever didn't wonder about that concerning with the younger generations? Take a look at the 50s and 60s, for example: the "adults" were scarred then... And look at YOU now... scratching
