world is on fire

i had placed this video from sarah on my blog...second video down on the right hand side...and i thought it was a fantastic because it demonstrates how much waste there is on entertainment...i think we forget sometimes how the entertianment world that you and me, and the whole world is apart of really makes more money and spends more money than anything else in the world...(well that may not be fully true because athletes make millions a year for most of the games they play).

So the question is when i compare my life and spending to that of these thousands and millions of pop icons and their spending habits what is the paralel.

So here is what i came up with
A night out (movie and dinner) $22.00 movie,. $40.00 dinner total of 62.00 plus gas
shopping for groceries $200.00 every two weeks
diapers 70.00 per month
mortgage 610.00 per month

at the end of the day, jordan and I are on a tight budget but we still get all the things we need and want, really! and we waste a hell of alot on entertainment. So food for thought i suppose, we all point the finger at all these pop icons and athletes and well i guess what i am getting at is to live simply is the fucken hardest thing to do for all of us...
when i go out for a hot meal and a movie i rarely think about how i could have spent that money in a better way, No. I often think and justify how much i really need that experience and deserve it...can you relate! Yes i am sure you can, i just need this, i need that...and well then we begin to realize we are just like the athletes and the job bon jovi's of this world...taking our wants and somehow justifying them as needs.
