Thats a factor of EVERYTHING in life

Look what put the consumers and banks in the boat their in. Keeping up with the Jones and living beyond ones means.

Nearly everyone who wants a nice house and or car wishes to take pride in their show piece. Thats fine. Thats what they wish to place emphasis on. Personally I drive a beater. For me its merely a mode of transportation, nothing more. Granted if I had piles of money beyond my needs Id drive something half way decent. But still Im just not the type to put a whole lot into that.

My apt and furniture is also nothing overly lavish. Fine by me.

Now that half the country borrowed beyond their means to, why, elevate their (pick your feeling) in life, theres a bit of mess.

So yeah, as working class whomever drives past me in their 2011 Audi or whatever that their leasing or making payments on for the next 6+ years, Ill happily sit with my not painfully embarrassing bank account. Fine by me.

So for the small percentage of the population we make up, I can swallow our good and bad traits. I doubt we will ever make up enough to be a tipping point of ANYTHING relevant in the grand scheme of things.

And FTR I think for me and many others, its bettered me as a person. I like nice "art" reproduced well. I pay attention to things in music far more. I have an appreciation for music created by folks many will never know or care about. Its never been just about the gear, for me at least. Every day I try and find new music Ive never heard of before. Its fun and I learn allot. So its been a positive thing for me in life. Granted it can be expense if you let it get outta hand. Which Im trying not to let myself get too close to bordering on ;-)
