    Two things this article doesn’t consider:

    1. people who are upset often buy things to make themselves feel better, even if they know they shouldn’t.

    2. with the rate prices have been rising by for a while, some might feel that it makes sense to spend now before products become me even more unaffordable.

      We just redid the kitchen and put new flooring in. We’ve had the money but the prices of shit hasnt come down much. I finally got sick of listening to it (my wife) and puked the trigger. Your #2 is exactly why.

        Except our current economy excludes the average American from home or vehicle ownership. So, we should probably be loudly demanding change.

        Are you blind, or getting kickbacks for touting corporate bullshit?
