As I said, frugality is a temporary tool to get you ahead at the start of your journey, Today my consumption is back to what would be considered normal, or even perhaps a little higher, and will grow through out the rest of my life.

Purchasing New cars, TV sets, Mobile phones, alcohol does little for the Australian economy, they are mostly made over seas or owned by foreign companies.

 

I have never said stop consuming, every consumes every day,

All I am saying is be mindful of your consumption, stick within your means, and invest some savings back into the economy.

If we all just hyper consumed, we would be debt slaves to foreign nations, The ownership of all our productive assets would drift over seas, and we would all be slaves shackled by debt working for the Man and shopping at the company store.

If you think suggesting that Australians should spend wisely, and invest their savings is bad for the economy, you are wrong.
