Next time I'm in DC I'll be sure to stop by your place for dinner and stay a night or two. Anon: You must be friends w/ Ammie. Sounds like you've accomplished a lot already!

Unlike those in spoiled generation; while my single mom struggled to raise her children, i was by her side to face it all together. It's been hard and tired. i always wish it'd end up as good as yours or others...but seems like it's not time for my family. Anyway, i won't give up :) I've a plan for us and will achieve it!!! -Nite- Great post indeed !!

Easier said than done! =) DCCF: High unemployment, nobody can afford to own a home, and petrol at twice the going price. Wow, I guess America's gonna become Europe! =) Let's hope that if the s**t were ever to truly hit the fan, our overblown sense of entitlement doesn't prompt us to start throwing cafe chairs and overturning cars, like some other country we all know across the pond. =) Jamie: Wow. Between my parents' lifelong dedication to work, and my lazier cousins' constant whining (their underachievement is never their fault for some reason), what you said here in 9 sentences gets to the heart of what I was thinking but was unable to clearly convey in an entire, ridiculously winded post! Janet: Much thanks for the link love! It's funny how all this social competitiveness is so pervasive in our society these days. I have a friend whose co-worker suggested he get on the waiting list for a fancy daycare facility *immediately* to get a leg up. At the time, my friend's wife was only a few months' pregnant! Would've been fun to fill out that application form. lol. Patricia: I definitely try to live and learn, and limit the amount of hypocrisy in my everyday life. Easier said than done! =)

I don't only see evidence of this in possessions either, I see it the whole "keeping up with the Jonses" mentality that permeates our culture. Marriage, children, etc. Man this is bringing me down now. On a brighter note, I added yor link! The perception of wealth you’re talking about is so true.

Both of my parents came from modest means, and I grew up fairly poor. But my dad had an unyielding work ethic, and he didn't make excuses or blame anyone. I learned a lot from that example. Now I look at my kids (and their peers) and wonder how this soft-bellied generation can possibly cope. Maybe all generations think this. We try to give our kids less. Say no more often. Leave the TV off, and basically be that living example to our own children. Great post. Both of my parents came from modest means, and I grew up fairly poor.

Very true. I am at your age group too.. though my parents didn't do all that great stuff for me :) You were blessed. I think in trying to give their children the best they can, parents sometimes forget to teach their children how to work for things and respect those who have. But all we can do is learn from our past experiences and incorporate meaning into the present. Looks like that is what you are doing... That was the deepest blog I think I have read! Very true.
