It use to be a good job for life a home in the suburbs wife and 2.3 kids.
Nowadays it's ballooning mortgage rates sky rocketing fuel rates. A tax base unheard of in all history just to prop up a failing public school system.
the two parent family has given way to the norm being a high divorce rate and many children growing up never knowing whom their father are.
To old way was to save for a rainy day. the new way is to max out your credit cards just to pay off the ones that are already past due.
the old way was neighbors helping neighbors.
the new way in covenants and civil court because you let your kids ride their bikes in the street. That is if you even have neighbors who don't lock themselves away behind steel bars and high tech alarm systems, clutching shoot guns as they peer out the bulletproof glass in their living rooms.
wondering the whole time if their pitiful job will be out sourced overseas anytime soon...
got to love the new American way...

The way of life of most of us americans is over indulgence. Keeping up with the Jones. Having to have the most of everything. Its ridiculous. From food, to money our culture is a very spoiled culture. Other countries must look at us and giggle.
Other countries are starving, fighting, barely surviving. I think that they sometimes hate us for it. Look at our current status and see........

It has become to cram as many workers into one house and put all your money together. That happens alot around here. For me it use to be to have my family and get a house. But we will always want more.
