My dad used to tell me all you need is three things in life, food in your belly, a dry roof and a good pair of wellies.  If you have those three things life is good, and it was.  Today my kids want things, society has changed to "want want want" I am entitled, why cant i have a new car, own my own house, go to Uni, my iPhone 6s is out of date i need a upgrade.  The world is mad we need to get back ...
