I really would like to find some index which reflects the real dependence between the earnings and the cost of life.
Now add the costs of owning a house, two cars, buying the latest gadgets, etc. Americans have been brainwashed into spending on shit they don't need. Remember when the board had all the threads of people boasting what they had bought.
