since all of their parents are still young and working, I was the first to fall into financial trouble but, as the economy keeps getting worse (I don't care what the govmnt of my country says, things ARE getting a LOT more expensive) more and more of them are being forced to learn to live frugally...(their parents have stopped subsidizing them, for example, so now they have to pay for actual necessities with their salaries, as opposed to just buying "goodies")...Also, on that govmnt thing...while I do admitt we may be worse financially than in years past, I also know that "the alternative" would be even worse!!
