Findings – Oversaving, a Burden for Our Times – NYTimes.com.

Is it really so bad that people think about their future?  The article ends on this note:

When you’re on your deathbed, how much time will you spend wistfully thinking, “If only I’d bought the smaller plasma TV. . . .”?

My question is, why are you thinking about a larger TV on your deadbed?  Would that have really made your life that much better?

This article loses sight of what many people believe is important in life…and it’s not material goods and excessive pampering.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, pick up your credit cards, get to the mall, and get consuming!…someone has to do it.
