But, people are slow learners and it happen again. If it leads to some of the country changing their ways I guess that&#39;s better than nothing. Our only insurance from the next recession is living honestly.<br />JerryJerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02297947643006068426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17701530.post-65598377312437889882009-10-19T21:57:25.927-04:002009-10-19T21:57:25.927-04:00These people need to read the new book Stop Acting Rich And Start Living Like A Real Millionaire!<br /><br />I haven&#39;t read it yet, but Liz Pulliam Weston mentioned it in one of her columns -- and the title alone has the ring of wisdom.MattHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09618723842334170654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17701530.post-56682239819653476402009-10-19T21:27:51.723-04:002009-10-19T21:27:51.723-04:00I too believe that frugality was definetely a huge trend that is slowly starting to fade away. There&#39;s not much we can do to help people who just do not GET IT. If they want to spend their money on unecessary crap like $30,000 watches, that&#39;s their choice. I will continue livingmy frugal lifestyle and I truely believe I will be much happier than someone who wears a $30,000 watch on their wrist.Cassiehttp://www.mrsjanuary.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17701530.post-56613820028386146802009-10-19T20:06:46.198-04:002009-10-19T20:06:46.198-04:00It&#39;s all about compounding. Spend it now and you have less of it later. Hopefully the people you are trying to impress today will still be around to remember how good you used to look.Indiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09830684510760019362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17701530.post-79494444313269582472009-10-19T15:49:09.191-04:002009-10-19T15:49:09.191-04:00men tend to spend in large amountsmoneymonkhttp://www.moneymonk.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17701530.post-17171142609424494052009-10-19T14:12:56.119-04:002009-10-19T14:12:56.119-04:00I agree with Scott...The Washington Post is a very scary newspaper! This article baffled me, as to go back out and do the same stupid stuff is acceptable?

A little googling and I see he is some guy that makes his living off of others buying into his insane fashion sense. Yeah, he&#39;s really unbiased when it comes to extravagant spending. Yikes, I&#39;m afraid this is what the &quot;new&quot; Washington Post will be publishing in the future.Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17701530.post-17578223592444659352009-10-19T12:14:11.008-04:002009-10-19T12:14:11.008-04:00Frugality was a trend that is fading fast. <br /><br />Naturally, the really cool people will continue with their frugal efforts ... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17701530.post-24060297701826115682009-10-19T11:56:05.795-04:002009-10-19T11:56:05.795-04:00Let him spend his money.
