Comment on Luxury or Necessity? The Public Makes a U-Turnparent

Spending priorities don't just stop with TV (which is probably the least offender since they can be relatively cheap).

I could drive around neighborhoods in Detroit (as far back as pre-2000) and see a lot of people with houses that were falling apart from disrepair, but they have a decked-out car with gold rims and hydraulics in the driveway... Or the ricers that can only afford a Ford Escort, but add some huge spoiler to it... People spending mounds of money on things that don't matter that much isn't something new.
