Me: Do you want to go to the Nuggets game on March 2nd? I can get $14 tickets through work.
Dad: Where are the seats?
Here we go.
Me: In the 300s. They’re $14.
Dad: We want to go, but we would want to sit closer.
WHY DOES IT MATTER? IS IT AN OLD PERSON VISION THING?!?! THERE’S A JUMBO-TRON! Also DAD, I have to have fun on a budget because of those student loans I’m paying because of that college you thought I should have to pay for literally for the rest of my life because of bootstraps or something.
Me: I didn’t look at the price of those. I’ll check.
Dad: Okay, well if you and Harrison want to go and the tickets are more expensive, you can just pay me the $14, and I’ll cover the rest.
I’m a 32 year old woman with a job and am about to agree to allow my dad to subsidize a closer seat to a Nuggets game.
Me: They’re $57.
Yikes.
Dad: Let’s do it.
Okay………… That’ll be $200.
The difference between Boomers and Millennials is how close they care to be to the court.
