Good Money?

Today at the 11:20 AM, I was listening to Dave Ramsey. A single mother called in, and was discussing how she just got a job making good money. Dave asked about her income and she replied, "between $25,000 - $27,000 a year."

I don't know about you, but $25,000 a year isn't what I would consider "good money"... especially when you consider she's a single mother. But that's not what I want to talk about today. What I want to talk about is... Dave rattled off an interesting stat that 78%(?) of kids will be part of a single-family household before they turn 18.

78% of kids.

What is going on in our society with marriage? I believe there are a couple things going on. (1) Clearly, people don't take it seriously like they use to 20 years ago (2) Apparently a lot of men need to grow up and actually act like men and lead the household, and work together with their wives on this.

I'm seeing evidence of these 2 items first hand everyday. I have 3 new friends who each are 27 years old, and are divorced single mothers to 2 children. I have a few other friends who are in their 20's that are divorced mothers to just 1 child.

That really makes me want to drive my car into a concrete pylon at 100 mph. They are all incredibly attractive and have amazing personalities. I've spent time with all of them, and they are just fun to be around... Here I am a single guy, and I can't even find a girl to date. It's just slightly frustrating. You know?
