The problem is that it's expensive to look rich.

Fiscal masochism is a failure mode in the other direction, where you find yourself sweating over a boiling vat of borax & cheese-grated dollar store soap to stick it to Big Detergent. Unfortunately, neither crazy shopping nor religious thrift make a serviceable human personality

Spending more = more tax = need to earn more = more tax. Consumer culture is a milking machine run by government. And schools are, of course, run by government so no incentive to teach financial freedom. The irony is how youth ‘bling’ culture plays into the hands of the system
