I WANT IT NOW.

When I got married many years ago, my spanking new husband and I set up home in a garage that had been converted into a granny flat.We had second hand furniture, only allowed to use the laundry between certain hours on one day of the week. We had one car between us, and both worked 5.days a week.

WE WERE VERY HAPPY. WE had every thing we wanted at that time. We saved and worked hard, we eventually purchased our first home, raised two dogs then started a family. in that order.

The want it now generation have no idea about the concept. "Everything in it's own time"

First they have kids, then borrow money with that all to easy to get credit card for that must have flat screen TV. then get kicked out of that two bedroom unit that is two months behind in rent. I could go on but I am getting angry just thinking about it.

When did everything get so screwed up.

Who is to blame. The media, Parents, School......or is it just greed the "Excessive desire to acquire or possess more (especially more material wealth) than one needs or deserves.
