The wrong kind of economy... (DOAC 6)

I was walking through my backyard to the garage and I realized something.  I have become a part of this home.  I have more of a connection to this house than its numeric value.  There are three baby trees growing.  Each of the trees replaced a tree that had been in its spot for at least fifty years.  I was a part of this house's life.    I have had all of my life memories in this home.

Before the economic downturn houses were selling like hotcakes.  The housing companies sold people on "the American dream."  People were told that their dreams are cheaply built Mcmansions.  People were told to sell their homely split levels for brick, 4000 square foot, showcases.

I don't know about you, but maybe we have such a big problem with our economy because we are looking for the wrong kind of wealth.  If we all realized that working only for money does no good, we may finally become the wealthiest nation on the planet.

I realise that this whole post sounded quite cheesy, I am terribly sorry.
