generation did not have this angst as everyone was as poor as they 
were, so they didn't know any difference.  Growing up, my peers were 
really not much better off than I was, we were all in the same boat, 
yet we managed to enjoy our lives without all the trimmings of 
wealth.  Because of the hard work and commitment of the past 
generations many families now enjoy financial security, why should we 
carry angst or guilt for this?  I, for one, learned many valuable 
lessons from relative poverty, as I am sure others will.  Throwing 
money at poverty does not solve the problem.
