There is a reason why so many people believe we are in a recession. They looked at their budgets and looked around. When you must use credit cards to buy groceries, repair the car, pay utilities, and pay for health care at urgent care, you know that your credit will end at some point. What many do is distract themselves with television, sports, or alcohol and drugs. Winning the lottery seems to be the only way out of debt; so many waste money on the lottery, kidding themselves that they may win and imagining how they will spend it.

I just read the obituary of another young man who died a death of despair by drinking himself to death. He excelled in school and had postgraduate degrees in political science and urban development from Ivy League schools. The obituary said he felt like a failure, and I am guessing he couldn't find work and or he probably had insurmountable student loan debt.
