Who really believes the more you buy the more you save? Yes coupons may lead you to think that you are going to save more by saying "If you spend $100 you get $10 back." But, if you really step back and look at the big picture you aren't saving much at all. People these days are super materialistic, everyone wants the huge house, the nice cars, the expensive clothes and for people to think that you have tons of money. Some people just go to the mall and walk around and buy things that they don't even need. They decide just to impulsively spend money when they don't think about their necessities. People spend way more than they have. After all the christmas shopping people are still paying off their debts months later. Did you know that there are more malls than there are high schools? Clearly our views on what is important has changed a lot over the years.
I totally agree, it's insane how materialistic Americans have become. We get so tied up in the material things and spend so much money on things we only use or touch once. Our views have most def changed on what's important.
