Wise words Brumar!

But a growing number of folks lack the self discipline required to achieve basic life goals. People these days want everything the way they want it. They don't seem to worry too much about whether they can afford it or if it is the right thing to do.

If a family simply can't afford to live in NYC, it's time to starting checking out jobs all over the country in more affordable areas. They DO exist in great numbers.

I'm not trying to be a pompous arse but I started out with less than nothing, worked many a crappy job (sometimes 2) and somehow managed to secure a decent job which I recently retired from after 31+ years of service. Nothing was ever handed to me. I had to pay for my own college courses to increase my skills and on several occasions, I had to accept a downgrade to eventually move forward.

Anything is possible if you have your head screwed on straight and are determined to succeed.
