Buy Status Symbols! Buy On Credit! It’s Good!
Yeah you read that title correctly, I’m telling everyone to go out and spend more frivolously. Spend spend spend! I want you to buy a brand new car, put that addition onto your house, max out that credit card! It feels so good to spend doesn’t it? Get a home equity line of credit to pay for that new hot tub or that 3/5/6/7/X3/X5/Z4/M/whatever BMW, it feels good to have a more expensive car than your friends! Just do it!
Let’s be honest, the United States economy can’t survive if people spend like I do. It can’t survive if they spend like NCN spends (thought NCN’s done his fair share in ths past!) and it sure wouldn’t survive if we were all mighty bargain hunters pinching five cent nickels.
So, go spend. Have a good time!

For the record, I’ve never been pinched by MBH.
As you stated, I’ve done my part… Now, I do my best to wreck the macro while focussing on the micro…
As for the pinching…

So, go spend. Have a good time!
…and achieve financial freedumb. I expect my comment to be deleted…but I really am trying to add to your story line. 
hahaha, my thoughts exactly.
27, single, frugal, about 20 - 25% of my after tax monthly income saved or invested. I am hoping to purchase my first home between the summer of 2007 and summer of 2008. In the meantime I need my stocks and index funds to go up, Up, UP! But that won’t happen if everyone lived like me, in fact everything would crash and turn into a barter economy. So please, buy a big screen TV, go out to eat every single night, now is the time to travel the world first class, buy it all cause you will grow into the payments. Let my investments grow.
Considering nickel is about a foot taller than I am, pinching him would be VERY ill-advised.
