Reply #21: The only answer is that "It hasn't hit them..we are wealthier today than [View All]

most of our parents were.....from what I see around me. Very few people had BMW's,Mercedes, etc. when I gre up. People would stop and look! The wealthy were few and far between.

Where I live even the most ordinary have 4-5,000 sq. ft. houses and SUV's and kids in Day Care (which is Okay, my kid had to be in daycare for awhile...but I needed the money) and they have Maids, and "groundsmen/ladies" and their kids have "Media Rooms," and their houses have decks or patio's with built in grills and "doo dads."

BUT! I NEVER see these people (where i live) Entertain or have kids over and enjoy themselves the way I remember from way back. It seems all is for SHOW! No substance or practicality to their lifestyles. And, believe me I KNOW.

These people are Weird! They think "Money Buys Happiness" but their decks and patios are empty, and their kids "play Gyms which are custom built, lack for kids to "play" on them, and they buy more and more stuff to satisfy their "worth," but it's HOLLOW......there's NOTHING THERE! It's ALL FLUFF!
