I would suspect this has probably been around for quite some time... but I found it hilarious. There is a great deal of social commentary that could be derived from this:
The Onion | Cost Of Living Now Outweighs Benefits
and... Paul Graham's essay entitled "What You'll Wish You'd Known"

The combination of the two definitely could put a hammer on the nail in the coffin on why American life (and perhaps life in general around the globe) might be headed for suckage.
