Americans whether it be rich or poor often forget how good we have it. I love to travel overseas and many times the poorer the better. It may sound strange, but the reason is because it acts as a reset button for my personal life. It grounds me. It reminds me of how wonderful my life is.
It's become a joke in this country as to how we complain about seemingly inconsequential things compared to people who live in abject poverty. Here's a great youtube video of "first world problems".

To further express this take a look at these statistics to show how much Americans consume compared to the rest of the world and also compared to just 2 generations ago. If you're wondering why you're broke, it's most likely because you buy too much shit!
