Several years ago, my daughter Jennifer was in Los Angeles with a church group.  Another daughter – Jessica -- was in Boston for an academic competition.  Sarah, my third daughter, stayed home with me; Chris traveled to Boston.  Geographically, you can’t spread a family much further than that!

Today, it’s common for families to jump on an airplane for a weekend trip to Chicago or Orlando.  It’s cheaper to travel than ever before.  Another factor is at work, too.  Families are more affluent.  When I was young, the very notion of a weekend trip would nave been ridiculous.  In fact, many things that seemed absurd then are commonplace today.

Affluence may be a double-edged sword, though.  Everyone likes a higher living standard.  Yet, for some families, prosperity creates problems.  Drug and alcohol abuse, mental problems, various family dysfunctions can be aggravated by wealth.  Too much money can be as bad as too little!
