You're totally right we are extremely well off. There are places around the world that would make most of us cringe, yet people there survive without much difficulty though maybe not in the lap of luxury we've got. Its good to take a moment every now and then and realize all the things that we do in fact have rather than griping about not having AC in the car.

There have been countless times that I have come home from my day job feeling like the whole world was on my shoulders. I then would have a good chat with my wife and she would more than most give me her sense of perspective on the issues of the day. It is often so good to talk to someone with a sympathetic ear who have a certain distance to one's own problems. Children have a really healthy perspective on life and really bring you back to earth. I remember the time that we had to move from the area where my wife's niece. It goes like this: "Why do you have to move from here?", asked the niece. "I have to go as I have to start a new job.", replied my wife. "Why don't you just get a job near where I live then?, pointed out the six year old. :) Sam Fix My Personal Finance http://fixmypersonalfinance.com Talking to friends, family or children(?) will also help us all keep things in perspective.
