[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 136547, member: 3444"] Entitlement is a BIG problem is this country right now. Look at all the people who insist on living beyond their means (the credit and mortgage crisis is a perfect example). I heard a commentary on the radio this morning about this subject... whatever happened to Ben Franklin's philosphy of a "penny saved is a penny earned"? We used to be a society of savers and now we are a society of consumers and spenders. Few are willing to make personal sacrifices or do without to ensure their economic success and stability. Many people in my town drive around in very expensive cars, with huge homes, take expensive vacations, wear nothing but designer clothing, blah, blah, blah. Frightening! Climbing down off the soapbox now... [/QUOTE]
