Apartment hunting
Our youngest son has finally graduated from college and has returned home to stay for a few days while he looks for an apartment to rent closer to his new job. He’s actually looking for a place to share with other young folks, so sharing a house is also an option. Today we went into town together to look at a few places. I was amazed to see how many of the places seemed to have a really big screen lcd tv in their living rooms.
I would have thought that with the economy as rough as it is, that people would be pinching pennies harder and spending their hard earned money on survival items, not luxuries like a brand new wide screen lcd tv!
I mentioned that to my wife, and she laughed at me! She told me that these young adults seem to think that all of the electronic devices that we think of as luxuries, such as a laptop computer and a lcd tvare considered a necessity to them!
