    Snakeboy, why do you think America just went spend-crazy all of a sudden? Do you think the entire character of America changed in a generation?
    I don't think it was "all of a sudden". The character of America began changing into one of excessive consumerism with the boomers and here we are today.

    I like to think we are beginning to reject the consumerism lifestyle but maybe it's just because I listen to Dave Ramsey's show most days and I'm fooling myself.

    I don't think that our generation will have much of a choice Snakeboy, as if we don't start saving we'll all be dead due to explosive health care costs.

    That's probably true. Maybe it isn't right to say America's character changed since that implies it was something static before. I would guess that plenty of people in the 30's were criticizing how people partied during the roaring 20's.
