RE: The Fine Art of Selling Air... and How the "Economy" is MUCH Worse Than People Think

in #capitalism9 years ago

All good with a slight twist... Young families naturally need more growth, where age brings stability. A young person grows out of last years shoes. I have shoes from 20 years ago that still fit.
Enough therefore is relative.

Sort:  

@doctorjohn, indeed! Enough is definitely relative, and very true about young families... we see that firsthand with our oldest (30) who has now bestowed 3 grandkids on us.

In the end, I think that boils down to "needs based consumerism" vs. "ego-based consumerism." I have several pairs of good shoes. Suddenly having a dozen pairs of Ferragamo shoes would in no way affect how I feel about myself or my life.
