I know this video has been making the blog rounds for a few weeks now but I wanted to post for those who may not have seen it yet. So true.

    Couldn't agree more with this guy. We are such a spoiled generation. People "back in the day" appreciated the things in life that really mattered, not the 3 second delay in our cell service or internet connection. Sitting around their homes reading a good book together, talking…imagine! =)

    This is so true! I saw this on Ragamuffin Soul's blog and really agreed with what the comedian said. I am not sure if people were happier or more sad back in the day, but with all of the new "stuff" and technology today, people just do not seem happy. What do we have to be sad about most of the time??

    Thanks for the video and sharing it with everyone.

    "And then when you ran out of money, you just go, 'Well, I can't do any more things now.' " lol

    Wow, I had NOT seen this. But its true— the reason so many people have had problems over the recession is that they are "owed" things they thought they needed. I had a classmate dare say "I now have to eat HOME 2 nights a week!"
    What? I eat out Fri night or Sat night, and maybe lunch on Sunday– my life didn't change with the recession. It all is about priorities in life! Wow, when was the last time you played a board game with someone? My wife and I have a blast doing that most Sat afternoons- teaches relations!

    Good post- I'm going to quit before I write a comment bigger than it!

    I know.. Go figure, can't afford it, don't do it.

    That's a foreign concept to most of this generation.

    That hilarious (in a sad way), but true. Just like the comedian says, a lot of people think they are owed things in life. Things that aren't necessities but luxuries. Yea this current economic slowdown might cause us to have to cut out a few nights out, but is that so bad? Like you said, maybe it will bring the American family unit a little close in the process?
