Look what happened in the last 10 years or so, forclosures, evictions and such. The lucky ones, were bailed by parents or some one else.  |
Yes, there certainly seems to be rampant, unbridled consumerism. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely like all the cool gadgets and shiny new products, but nobody seems to value what they already have and use it for as long as they possibly can. Or, Heaven forbid -- *do without* a non-essential product/device until they can pay for it.
