      Yep...and glad too that I have all that extra money to pump into the economy too! I had the lowest tax liability in years last year.

        "Don't really need it?" You don't need a lot of things. Things you want but don't need are called luxuries. How can having more luxuries be exactly bad?

                Having luxuries is one thing, but being obsessed with luxuries in another, and that is what conspicuous consumption is.

                    Everyone in industrial countries are obsessed with luxuries! All you really NEED is shelter and food.

                              Do you think it's a coincidence that people that have to work favor higher wages and a smaller work week?
