No one said to stop consuming, but, do people really need the latest, the greatest, and whatever else the celebrities have (even if it is a knock-off)?

My post should have stated that we need to spend wisely, and not be influenced by what the media shows... Remember Sea Monkeys? Remember the add in the comic book that shows them doing tricks and smiling and stuff? Remember how disappointing it was to discover sea monkeys were just brine shrimp, and brine shrimp don't smile at anyone or even do tricks...
Again, as I stated consume and spend wisely on things that will last, and not go for the latest fad.
I loved my sea monkey brine shrimp, and then my parents had a party and someone used them as an ashtray and they all died and now you have reminded me of all this! (and thanks for the comment otherwise)
"My post should have stated that we need to spend wisely, and not be influenced by what the media shows..."
There's that "WE" bit again. *I* spend my money wisely and so should you (and I assume you do). However, the two of us may well disagree what is "wise" based on our individual outlooks, base natures, and our individual goals. I would never be so foolish to believe that I can make "wise" decisions for you and your family - I'd be an utter failure because I don't know you OR your family. Heck, I wouldn't dare do it for my closest friend (and we think very much alike).
I hope that you wouldn't dare to put such decision making power over me into your hands in return.
As it should be. Unless, of course, you believe there should be a Board of Wise Choices that makes those decisions instead of we ourselves
However, most people, I would think, would know things like, Tennis shoes with a sports star (or ex president's ) name on them should be passed over for a cheaper set, and a medium priced show would be better than a cheap shoe... However, here I am wearing the WalMart special because I like them even though they wear out inside of three months of daily use.

A Board of Wise Choices? Perish forbid.

So who am to judge or give advice?
