[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You express yourself in a way that makes it sound like you associate positive traits exclusively with Asians and bad habits with "white Americans."

I imagine your husband might find this rather stressful.  He cannot make himself Korean or Chinese even if it would make you think more highly of him.

My very white grandparents grew up in the Great Depression, and they passed on their thrifty habits to their children and grandchildren.  Some of us have Asian and other non-white spouses who are much more inclined to spend freely than we are. [/quote]

OP here, it is funny you write this because I get along very well with very old Americans.  They share my financial values.  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.  This is not to say one culture is better than another, but to the degree one wants to achieve financial freedom, the Asian approach tends to be better for that purpose.[/quote]
