Huge Debt, No savings - USATODAY.com

Generation Y's Steep Financial Hurdles: 

"They're called 'Generation Y' — teens and twentysomethings known stereotypically for their coddled upbringing, confidence, opinionated dialogue, free-spending habits and openness to change.

Now, stagnant wages, job insecurity, the decline in employer-sponsored health insurance and retirement benefits, the rapid increase in basic expenses, soaring debt and minimal savings have jeopardized the economic security of the entire generation, according to a recent report by Demos, a public policy research and advocacy think tank."

USA Today has an article about the economic toll that the events of the last few years have taken on an entire generation. A generation that, by and large, still probably doesn’t know what hit them.They will learn soon.
Would you be smiling if you were twenty-something years old and you owed almost a hundred thousand dollars?
My guess is that, in another 10 or 20 years, they’re going to be pretty mad when they fully understand what the Big Government Progressive Movement has left them.

Skip DVD Trailers and Warnings

An interesting video from CNET about watching DVD's.
The solution works for me. 

If you've watched one DVD in your life, you know how annoying the endless title screens, trailers, and warnings are. It's infuriating because you're often prevented from skipping them -
Unless you know the right remote control shortcut, that is.

There are several methods for skipping the trailers, warnings, and other "stuff" on a DVD so you can get straight to the movie you're trying to watch.
The first tip, from CNET author Tom Merritt, is the easiest. Just press Stop, Stop, then Play on many DVDs to skip right to the movie.
This method won't always work, so if it doesn't, don't give up hope! If twice doesn't work, Salon.com's Richard Rider says pressing Stop three times, followed by Play, will do the trick.

Elgin Park Pa. - The Perfect Town

Michael Paul Smith lives in a place most of us know only from the pages of old photo albums.
In his hometown, the good old days are still just as shiny and bright as a new set of white wall tires.
But you won't find this place on any map.

Believe it or not I found this video on a financial blog.
The pictures are amazing, and most of all it brings back some fond memories of a simpler time.

So girls, slip into a pair of Pedal Pushers and put a little more hair spray on the old Bee Hive.
You guys roll up that pack of Lucky Strikes in the sleeve of your t-shirt and put some more Brylcream on that DA.
Everybody head over to Broderic's Diner for some burgers and fries, and most importantly a night of Drag Racing.
My money is on the '53 Studebaker Starlight Coupe with the bored and stroked Packard engine, and the cool Ah Ooo Gah Horn. 

To see the "stills" click on "photo albums" in the intro above.

Be warned that you have to sit through a 30 second commercial before the "movie feature" starts.

Senior Monent? Nah...........

Improve Your Memory - AOL Health:
"Have you ever found yourself in mid-sentence when suddenly you've forgotten the point you were trying to make?

But here's the good news: Research shows there are simple strategies that can boost your brainpower -- no matter how many candles will be on your birthday cake this year."
