The joke I have with people in my boat is that well, I suppose this is happening because it beats saving and subsidizing everyone else to spend lavishly.
The other thing is that I guess some people think well, since the Fed doing massive bailouts, if I get in trouble, it’s ok too.
I’ve started to realign my spending habits from being an ubber saver to slightly indulging more in the material world lately myself. I don’t see a point in being ubber saver and getting reamed on taxes at the same time. (Suddenly my digital pictures are looking a lot better these days with better glass 🙁 ).[/quote]
I’ve come to think along these lines to some degree myself.
