GT I agree with some parts of what you said, like buying into pop-culture. But think for a moment the number of mags that are similar to entertainment weekly, the fact they have ET tonight and so forth. People must be buying in.

I do think that just because you choose not to spend money doesnt mean you wont when you have money though.

All good points.

Thanks for writting clearly.

Well sure. If tons of people didn't buy into the culture, it would cease to be popular culture and revert to a sub or counter culture. I think pop culture is a bit paradoxical, though. So many people claim to loathe it yet, like you said, there's dozens of printed magazines and TV news magazines that focus on nothing BUT pop culture. If people aren't buying or watching because they hate it so much, how do those companies stay afloat and further still, more companies pop up on a regular basis?

And yeah...there are a few things I'd buy if I had some money. No argument here. But by and large they're things I've had my eye on for a LONG time. I'm not saying that I wouldn't buy a new computer or a better TV...I'm saying I wouldn't head over to a given store and just go crazy buying shit. I mean...the way I look at it is like those dipshits at Enron, Tyco, Global Crossing, etc. They stole billions of dollars and just spent a lot of it on stuff, some of which they never touched. How much stuff does a person really need? I prefer to live comfortably but simple.
