They obviously never had to work and save to buy anything. I have come to the conclusion that the age of maturity has receded ten years. Lastly, I don't have a manicured & landscaped lawn, but if my yard looked like the ones in many of these videos I sure wouldn't be showing it to the world on youtube!

I think that's it, they take things for granted and it seems in society, the age of maturity is really set back these days. Heck it has even changed from the 1980's when I was a teen. I know when my grandfather (born 1901) was a kid, he had to go to work at 13, when you got that age, at that time, you had to accept 80 or 90 percent of adult responsibilities.

It also helps to understand the value of things since I was raised by a single parent after my parents divorced because of the scarcity of some things. Even now, things are tight so perhaps to these kids, my 1982 Zenith is junk but to me, it's priceless.
