Profligate

I shuttle dozens of families per month to the airport so they can vacation, do cruises, and visit time shares, and do foreign excursions in warm places.

As children we did not take such expensive, fun vacations. What has changed? First, people likely are richer, so they can afford fancy winter vacations.

Second, they are doing it on credit.

Third, they are spending their children's inheritance. Some had were on their 3rd trip of the winter.

If people work hard or are retired the trip is well-earned and beneficial. But needless or excess indulgence in pleasure-seeking seems immoral, jaded and excessive to me.

Hard work, discipline and sacrifice must be the majority of our time and effort.
