quick! is your standard of living higher or lower than your parents' when they were your age? hell if i know. it's a tricky thing to measure. you are working more hours for your necessities - food and shelter. but fewer hours for the luxuries - your 55" flat screen televisions, cell phones, computers, vacations, etc. it's remarkable really. hell, homeless people have cell phones. weird huh? okay so consider what happens if this trend continues.
