Just caught the last half of this documentary on tv here. Pretty scary stuff. (I'm making sure I catch the rerun on Monday.) Made me wonder if you guys have seen it, and what you thought about it?

Combined with that, our minister of finance Jyrki Katainen made the headlines this morning by admitting that the increasing government debt is a problem that is "willingly being passed on to our children". Sounds harsh, even if the reasons behind that are aimed at reviving the economy. I guess we better make sure we teach "our children"* how to save money and manage a budget, so they at least have a chance at solving this?

*) I'm 27 myself, and not quite sure if I fall in the category of the child or the parent here..
