Keith,

Just be lucky you don't live in the big city. The "entitlement" attitude here (Houston) would gag you. They are all mortgaged to the hilt, two new financed cars in the driveway, credit cards maxxed out, and wanting one of those free refinance deals from the FHA to bail them out of their bad mortgage. I am afraid it is only going to get worse as this new administration gets busy spending money we don't have on roads and bridges and public works. They tell us we need to go green and reduce the number of cars on the road, but they want to build more highways. Go figure. For those of us who have worked and saved long, its going to be painful. Frankly, I think us and our kids are screwed.
