I don't know if I understand exactly what we are talking about here. How does one avoid this affluenza? Is it simply by not buying the top 20 name brands of any specific item? By making sure that this "no name" pair of shoes that I'm wearing are made in the USA to avoid sweatshop support? Yeah, I want the nice things. Right now that nice thing is a house. And thanks to the market out here in Vegas, a nice house is quickly becoming unattainable for a paycheck to paycheck person like myself. That has nothing to do with affluenza does it? My tone might sound sarcastic, but I really am trying to grasp this concept. I think everyone is guilty of it. Even in the sense of "Success is the new Failure" measuring against just "wanting to make people happy". If you succeed in making people happy, then have you truly failed?
