Success & The "Recession"

To some people success means millions of dollars, fancy cars, a large fan base & big houses. For some time, I've been hearing "rich high class" people say that we're living in a recession and it's hard for them to survive. I wonder if they're saying that because they no longer can spend 2,000.00 of the taxpayers money to get their Bentley fully detailed or spend 10 plus thousand dollars on fuel to take a private jet from on city to the next. Have we gotten so far away from the big picture of what success really means until we can't see that the path to success is determined by God & the individuals praying and believing God? Personally, I don't feel that we're in a recession because my source is the only key to surviving in this world. He calms my fear, solves my needs & gives me whatever I need when I ask for it in his name. What does success & "the recession" mean to you and being that God created this world, are we really in a recession or, have we not just tapped into the main source to be successful? Tell me how you feel & what do you think about this!
