So people are spending more money on the stuff that makes life worth living instead of the stuff that merely keeps you alive. Why exactly is that a bad thing?

But people actually used to have savings accounts back in the day. Now the average household is almost $15,000 in credit card debt alone.

Or maybe it’s just that in the 60’s everybody was a hippie and had no interest in material goods, man.

If I didn’t spend $1,500 on my car audio or quad core gaming rig, then life would be a lot more duller

This is also extremely arbitrary-who exactly is determining what is non-essential?
-Is a cell phone? How about the data plan for the cell phone? Does this change if it is “required” for your occupation?
-Higher internet speed than basic? How about internet at all?
-Luxury cars/ car accessories? Is excess considered the price difference between a basic car and a luxury one?
-How about clothes? Do designer clothes count as non-essential?

I call bullshit.
