They are invincible and their disposable income goes for fun.

Not in my family, not with my children! My three daughters all in their mid-30's, early 40's, have always provided for their own health ins. They are responsible and certain things come before "fun". Specifically they are, taxes, life & health ins., long term savings for children's college exp., 401K, etc. They have always put their future ahead of their more immediate need for "fun". I don't think we can nor should lump all 20 somethings together, any more than we can or should lump all business owners together.
