[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread just goes to show you the gluttony, entitlement, and overspending for the middle and upper middle class in the DC area. The difference of poverty stricken kids and yours is sickening. [/quote]

You knew what you were getting into when you clicked this thread. It's not up to you to decide how people spend their hard earned money. If you don't like it you can move, choose to ignore it, or get over it! You have no idea what others have done for/given to children in poverty. In my family's case, it's been a lot. Do you think it's helping anyone if the middle class doesn't buy stuff that they can afford to buy? I swear, the obnoxiousness and stupidity of your post is just way over the top.[/quote]

I'm not the PP you responded to, but I have to say I agree with him or her. This society is WAY to materialistic. Why do people have to have the newest and latest, for example, when their old device works perfectly well? Why do they need multiple devices? Mind you, I have Apple stock, so go ahead and buy as many Apple products as you want :-) Personally I do not, however. Just like I don't trade in my car every few years, change my wardrobe yearly or move homes unless I have to. I like to pick quality and then stick to what I have until it doesn't work. Creates less waste and simplifies my life.

No one is saying they are running out and buying new things for their kids.  But, if they do, what is the issue.  My kid has my old Mac Pro.  My husband got sick of me complaining and got me a new one and fixed it.  My kid has dad's old iPad.  Dad wanted a new one for what ever reason I don't get.  Kid's iPad was bought when he was born, 6+years ago.  He has an old iPod.  If I could get him a phone for school to meet my needs I would in a heart beat.  We don't upgrade often.  We still have iPhone 5's.

Lets trade houses.  I bet yours is far bigger than mine as are your cars (I could get a new one but I don't care).  You're right, you don't need hat big house of yours.[/quote]

Sorry, I have less than 1400 sq ft for 4 people, even though it is in a prime real estate location :-)
And I still think you're not exactly being frugal on the electronics front.[/quote]
