| Live in USA but behave as if I reside in Thailand? |
| Once again I read a news story pointing out how terrible my fellow countrymen are with finances - Americans: world's worst savers. I know we are bad about saving. But what I did not know was how good people in Thailand are at saving. If having to guess I would have thought the Japanese to be the best savers. So this is what I am going to do. Continue to reside in the Hub of the Universe (aka Boston) but act as if I am in Thailand. Yup, not only will I continue to save but I will also be sure to not use my feet to move items or pat folks on the head. |

Germany, a country with double-digit unemployment for much of this decade, only has 13% of its population with no spare cash?
I can reconcile those two facts as easily as I can reconcile the U.S. having the worst savings rate at the same time that it has half of the world's billionaires...

Don't forget the infamous canning they do to their people, maybe they save so much so they can move here to the U.S.A....hmm.........
