		<description>Sam, I found this article while searching on Google. I loved this part:

 Stuart Smalley’s said it best, “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.” Who cares what people think folks?

Thanks for pointing out this problem so well. I actually had an overspending problem until I wised up in my older years, so I can definitely see a problem with a sense of entitlement and a lack of education.</description>

		<description>Everyone I know looks at saving money as being pessimistic. (Well not since 2008 but before that) If you SAVE, then you must think your going to loose your job. Yes I&#039;m serious. At work you&#039;ll notice that if you go out and buy a Brand New Car everyone will congratulate you and act like you did something wonderful... I just shake my head and think to myself; there goes another fool who went in debt for a new car when they could have bought used and saved a ton of money. 

Americans have always been addicted to SPENDING and Showing Off their income. They care more about how they LOOK than their real financial situation. You can be sitting with $107.00 in your bank account but as long as you have that shiny new car sitting out in front of your mortgaged house then your doing A-OK Great in America... Please. 

One great thing about the Recession of 2008, it&#039;s starting to bring Americans back to reality. The Buzz of the Roaring 1990&#039;s spending party is finally wearing off and people are realizing they better get real and stop lying to themselves.</description>

		<description>Yes, I agree.  Distortion is strong with this young one.  The other side of the story is, if the father is rich enough, and will always support her, then maybe her her view on finances aren&#039;t distorted!</description>

		<description>Getting your first car is definitely a big moment in your life. Handing down an expensive Porsche is setting the bar way too high. I wonder how distorted the girl&#039;s views are on finances, if any, considering her dad is just willing to hand down the Porsche like that. What other extravagant things is she getting?</description>
