So you want us all to be trapped and miserable?
The sense of entitlement comes when you think you deserve something you cant afford.
If you couldn't afford something at the onset, I agree with you. But circumstances change. You can't always predict which circumstance will change, in which direction they'll change and how it will affect you.
Some circumstances are hard to predict. Figuring out that gas wasn’t going to stay at a dollar a gallon was a no brainer. Anybody who was alive in the 70’s knows how easily energy prices can change and how that can effect your lifestyle. I myself was a baby then, which is why I’m flabbergasted that people older than me didn’t realize this could happen.
