Good post. Certainly "the good old days were not always good", and many people struggle to meet their expectations in life because the expectations have gotten higher.
I fit in to that category to an extent. I often feel like money is short, but than I spend over $150 a month on TV, internet and entertainment and I have a new moderatly expensive car. I certainly don't live with - "One television, no stereo, no VCR, no cable, one (used) car, six rooms for four people, no eating out, no cell phones, no vacations other than visiting relatives...". |
