>They are all now (or will be) a bunch of yuppies worried about their retirement benefits

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Yuppie was a generational thing. In their day, urban real estate was affordable (white flight; older people terrified of cities) and people actually could climb the corporate ladder. 25-year-old urbanites aren't true yuppies. Our generation came up in a different time.
