Keep those things firmly in mind and when your old and gray like me you can stand on your front porch and shake your cane while yelling "get off my lawn!". Or, you could strike out and do something unique that some call "begging" or "slacking" and succeed or fail, you'll have done it. It seems the younger generation sees things differently, and values different things than the older. And the joke on the older generation is that they did the same thing when they were young imparting the same discomfort on the preceding older generation, they just forgot (they're old). Some things don't change. I wish you success.

Let's keep it simple. You are, of course, positing that Jake will own a lawn and a front porch -- Last time I checked in with some 20-somethings, many still lived at home. And while we're at educating Jake, tell him where his social security will be, too, when he's of a age. :ah: Let's hope he will have his perspective then, too.
