I believe the standard of living is getting worse. Everyone is competing on who has the bigger and better car, or house. Everyone has become more materialized. And there are people out there coming out with bigger and better things everyday, which will eventually become essentials in our everyday lives.

I would definatly have to say its getting worse, just because everybody has to have the newest best everything.If your poor or dont have loads of money you would be in the lower standards of living.

The standard of living is pretty big in my life because i have so many things that are important to me right now. I put family first and i have a niece on the way, she should be here any day now! I do need a car and a phone so that i can go places and to find out where i am going. Whatever my family needs i try to make sure that they get it and if they don't then i just find something better!

I believe that the standard of living is getting worse in the U.S. It is becoming where to fit in with todays society you have to have this, that, and those!What happened to getting what you need to live, the simple things like a house over your head, food in your tummy, and clothes on your back! In todays world you have the newest car, latest cell phone, and coolist brand name high price clothes just to fit in with the croud! Have we really become a bunch of high over priced zombies hypnotized in the newest trends in the world in stead of thinking of what we really need and spending our money on something a little more important like a better tomorrow for tomorrows youth! Sure it is nice to have what you want every once and a while, but is it the smartist thing to do!

The standard of living is getting, to me, worse because a lot of people these days do not have jobs, and they're not trying to. Some people have jobs, but can't even afford to keep their own house. My dad is in the position right now where we might have to sale our house by next year if things don't go well with his job. I wish I could help, but I don't think I can. Life is really hard and it can put a lot of stress on people to where they just give up.

I think the standard of living is getting worse because everyone wants to live the good life with fancy things that anyone really doesn'tneed by living that lifestyle, nothing is being resolved

I think the standard of living is getting worse because of the fact that we still have racism going on in this world. African Americans really have a hard time getting good jobs.

I think the standard of living is getting worse in the us because people are starting to just do the basic everyday needs. Nobody is doing anything extra because of technology. I dont know if it would be better large or small.
