Monk/Nun Budget

The kind of budgets people will come up for you when they want you to move to an expensive town. The name comes from the fact that the people are only factoring in basic expenses such as rent, utilities, and maybe a car payment. This assumes that you live like a monk or nun, because they seem to figure that you never go out and eat very little or not at all.

I was duped into moving to that fancy resort town by being shown a budget that made it look like I could afford to live there. This was a true monk/nun budget because as soon as my car broke down I was out of luck.

Target

A store that prides itself as being "upscale" but it is a horrible company to work for. All of the employees have some stupid abbreviation for their title. There are three types of people who work in Target; the loyalists who have a bulls eye tattooed on their asses, the people who are biding their time in between jobs, and the most tragic, the broken-spirited people who do not have the will to look for another job and take the abuse. The GSTLs are the worst people as they are drunk on their own power. The store manager is usually a figurehead. This company is like something straight out of Dickens. On top of all of this, the stores are so inefficiently run that it is a mystery that it maintains corporate status.

Target should be avoided due to its treatment of employees.

Boomerang Generation

The current crop of adults born from about 1975 to 1991. The term Boomerang Generation came from the fact that they move back in after graduating from college. This often occurs because they have spent a small fortune in college and cannot even afford to interview, let alone move to another town that has a good job. They are sometimes stuck working menial jobs that are insulting to their intelligence and qualifications. The down side to the Boomerang Generation, is that people in this age bracket will often move home with any minor setback. This is often condoned by parents and is evidence that we as a society have been prolonging adolescence.

In Japan these people are often called parasitic singles.

Many people in the Boomerang Generation move back home for good reasons such as trying to get on their feet after college. Many are also pathetic leeches who do it at the insistence of other people.
