    This might have been shared already, I found it hilarious and a perfect description of my never-satisfied generation.

    LOL that was funny and so true. I remember those big credit card machines and having to call to get the purchase approved, it was such a hassle. Back in the day, I really thought people were pains in the rear for paying with the card, making my job of ringing them up that much harder.

    This is my FAVOURITE video right now! It's bang on the money about how incredible things are right now and how people just take everything for granted. I sent an email out to all my friends with this link when I found out about it a few weeks ago. My friends all responded that they loved it too but its funny, some of them don't see how they are the ones who are often ungrateful.

    Good job on posting it...I think of lot of the villagers will appreciate the spirit of the video.
    I want to kill my mortgage! 192,391/197,370 (since July 2011)

    I'm attempting to live by the principles of The Compact in 2012. Wish me luck!

    2012 Financial goals
    • make an extra $15k over and above any flying pay (1705/15000)
    • pay an extra $1750 off my mortgage (557/1750)
    • bring EF back to $10k - $3533 left to save
    • avoid lifestyle inflation
    • improve investment plan (change accounts) - *grumble grumble* Bank made a mistake, need to re-do paperwork

    The Financial Goals I've achieved:     increased RSP contribution to $300/mth, posted budget on FV for review, saved $1600 to go on vacation
