consumerism totally makes sense if you’re a consumer:
half a dozen kids
2 pets for each kid
3 recreational/sport vehicles for each family member
3 vacations per year
daily outings to consumer destinations and hobbies
you obviously NEED a land yacht in order to HAVE all these very important things… of course, mini vans work too, but they’re so uncool. as are station wagons. hybrid suv’s are coming out, but what’s their towing capacity? don’t forget all the lumber and concrete that has to be hauled inside your leather interior 10 speaker in dash dvd “utility” vehicle.
then again, if you can’t afford to TIP, then you can’t afford to eat out… how many of these proud former suv owners bought with their heloc’s.
