5. I had a similar conversation with my mom today who will be 70
in April.
My parents have never had good money management skills, my mom feels like she has to by consumer goods to make me and my sister happpy. She asked did I wear pearls? I said "What?" She said "pearls", I said no I don't so don't waste money on crap I don't need and won't use. My mom has more useless crap around her house that she has purchased through "FingerHut" and she will never use the useless crap.
My parents are an example of Americans that think having an abundance of consumer goods will bring happiness.
The from 17 to 70....consumerism is destroying America.
