[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not just prevalent in immigrant cultures,  DH and I are American and our parents are like that too. It's unbelievable how much money they spend. And they've always spent like that too. New cars every other year, fancy vacations, etc.

In our case, I think the Boomers were rebelling against how cheap their parents (greatest generation) were. My grandparents struggled through WW2 and the depression and were always crazy cheap. My mom talks a lot about what she didn't have growing up. [/quote]

Lol!  My immigrant parents are always telling us "not to spend money".  They lived through the Korean War so they are very cheap and take pride in their cheapness  :lol:  My DH comes from an old money family, they don't spend either and always lived way below their means.  They are children of the Depression although fil's family were rich even then.

No one in our families ever comment on our lifestyle.  We drive a late 90ties Honda Civic that is still running great that we park on the street.  We are retired with a kid in elementary school.  We travel a lot.
