all the empty houses are still not on the market so it is fake. So the -27% is just wrong as far as costs go. My kids house payments didn't go down just because house prices did, just the value of their houses.

Celebrating with $1 fast food now and then cuts the anxiety that kids have for not having the life they see on TV or think their friends have. It is a good investment. Same with a mom and/or Dad working 3 part time jobs each and still on food stamps. That Dairy Queen cake (with a coupon) enriches the party when you do not have the time to make anything special. Baking a cake and buying Ice Cream is not always all that cheap either.

Kids have to have something special to remember from childhood to get them through the teenage years and now young adult life here in America.
