[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you think people imagined the fact you criticized "the American values?"  let us see.

[quote=Anonymous] Building wealth is very important to me, as are goals such as being able to pay for my children's college and retiring with a nice, fully paid off house. DH's family are white Americans who think that there is nothing wrong with a debt-funded "American dream." [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]My African friends have the same kind of set up -- the husband's paycheck goes straight to the wife's account. I don't know why Americans find this so extreme.  [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]I am just smarter, more careful, and more disciplined than perhaps the average American. [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is a gross generalization to say that the impulse of Americans under age 75 is to spend while the impulse of most Asians is to save.  [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous] I had never had brand new clothes until I moved to the US in my teens. Many Americans live on the brink, but have not experienced what life is like when one has truly fallen to the bottom.  [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous] Most people don't spend the way that pampered Americans and Europeans do. Most of my friends are African (straight from the continent) because those people really know how to conserve resources and live wisely. I have a Ghanaian girlfriend who always looks as if she stepped out of a magazine. Pencil thin with amazing clothes. She makes all of her own stuff and spends very little on clothes. American fashionistas, in comparison, are often deep in debt or rely on their parents' money. [/quote]

Yep, this is all about faceless jerks on the internet. This has absolutely nothing to do with you and the way you choose to express yourself. Yep.

OP here, you probably don't mean to flatter me, but I am actually honored nonetheless. I know that parsing this thread for my quotes and collecting them as you have must have been time consuming. [/quote]
