@plainoldme,
Nothing wrong with growing up in the 80's. I studied a math exam in a disco, learned colloquial Spanish on vacation and lots more.
I also learned the advantages tof having seperate bedrooms, pass exams without really understanding things, how to rebel to School management and more interesting things.
I never grew fond of Mammon and spend all my income on having fun

. It's 2010 now, paid my bills

and find the present world interesting again. How to survive a financial crisis ? Look at your morals

, you can't want to have it all people !
