I’m with you. I think I hang out online with such great frugal people that I’m always surprised if someone says that they carry a credit card balance, or don’t understand what a basic retirement plan is.

Good post. We do live in a debt ridden society, and the norm is the borrow against the future. Consumption of goods and services has become the opiate of the people.

And they didn’t borrow money to do it!” .. because we live in debt-ridden society
and deficit-ridden country that’s why.
I’ve heard of the words trade defict and budget deficit for almost 20 years until
it becomes normal. I mean do you really care about it? And Tom, you can wear
the color you chose anytime anywhere because as far as i’m concerned you
don’t and you won’t be a threat to me or society. If your new neighbor’s wife
wears a veil over her face now that’s something else…

Great post. I was talking to my friend about this the other day. I just don’t get why people have to think what’s normal or what’s not. We should just live as we want, why do we have to care what others think? If you want to wear pink shoes and pants, do it! It won’t be “normal” to others but it’s your life!
