I do like expensive things but I know that "things" don't make me happy. I still like them though. I'd like to have more nice clothes, I think. So no, I'm not materialistic.

The only way I keep "clutter" under some control is going through all the closets and other hiding places a couple times a year. I have warned my children not to buy me anything cause I don't need anything at this stage of life. Actually, I spent the night this year in a nice roomy-- motel room with two king-beds---refrig---microwave--coffee maker---TV and desk for a computer and a...

Edited on Sat Oct-31-09 10:58 AM by CrispyQ They also made a documentary based on it, but the book was superior, if only for the David Horsey cartoons! It was a fascinating look at how our society changed after WWII. Women had gone out of the homes & into the factories. More & more segments of our population moved from the cities to the suburbs. Dad needed a car to get to his city job ...

We are less inclined........it's part of the affluenza. We're so busy getting things we don't stop to enjoy what we have. I've seen family members take a business call during a holiday dinner or at a wedding...I'd NEVER do that because my phone is turned off. Holidays & vacations are what voicemail is for. I long ago stopped saving the nice stuff only for guests or holidays...
