Very true. Finances are a very personal thing.
But this is why it is getting progressively worse:
Because we ALL (in the US) are getting further and further from the days when my fathers gen ruled the world (post WW2) and made huge money.
We ALL in the US got trickle down from that. But it wont trickle down forever. It will run out.
This IS the end of the innocence for those esp around 50. We still had it pretty good. We were closer to the money. (I speak as a whole in general as a country)
I feel for the younger gens. You grew up harder and meaner with less fantasy and more reality. You're kids (in general) will have even less fantasy and more of the cold hard world where money will be short.
Disneyland aint cheap. Glad my parents took me when I was 14. Did yours?
