it all depends on what you want to define as a "Decent Life"

use to be a time when you lived a decent life if you had 3 square meals and a roof over your head. people were happy gathering together on a sunday afternoon for dinner.

now, it seems, that you need internet, cable TV, Iphones, 2 $50k auto's complete with entertainment systems, annual trips to Disney, and so on before you can call it a "Decent life"

Kids used to be happy with a crappy bike and they'd go outside all day and play. Now they need multiple $500 Gaming Systems, Dance lessons, Athletic camps, $200 sneakers, their own iPhone at 10, and they still sit around and bitch that they have nothing to do.
