But, my point is the statement "grab all the **** we can before we die" is too subjective. If I had a wife and two kids and and my household income was $200,000 a year, I think owning a four bedroom house in the burbs and having two cars would be okay. There are some who would say one or no cars and two bedrooms are enough So, once again, where is the line drawn. I submit only I can draw it for myself AND - I think I have a duty to educate myself on how to conserve, live within that as best I can, etc., which is I think what you are trying to say.
