But seriously, I see young people here saving for all kinds of travel, buying homes at young ages. I get the impression you are far more frugal and realistic about finances.

Not all of us, the broke fools like me just don't talk about it much. I like to console myself that my financial woes are due to me being a student supporting a family, but give me 5 years and I will prove I am a screw up!
In reality, I would wager that the average awareness of a CP poster is probably a couple magnitude higher than an 'average' US citizen. That probably means more people have thier ducks in a row here than in the general population. Take a look at the income poll thread from a month or so ago - although a lot of that might be due solely to oil.
