What are we living for?

You know the lyrics to the Queen song? Show must go on.

Well I was reading an article in USA Today about Debt and a few thing stood out to me.
Here is the Article

Debt has forced some young people to change their career plans. Of those surveyed, 22% say they've taken a job they otherwise wouldn't have because they needed more money to pay off student-loan debt. Twenty-nine percent say they've put off or chosen not to pursue more education because they have so much debt already. And 26% have put off buying a home for the same reason.

A smaller percentage say they've put off marrying (11%) or having children (14%).

Makes you wonder what you might be putting off because of your debt.

Watching a program last night about Warren Buffet. He stated that Young adults today are living better than the Rockerfellers of the Nineteen Twenties. If you think about it were well clothed, well entertained, lots of expendable income, Ipod, lap tops, cars. What do we really stand in need of?
