My reaction, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Pay cash, buy what makes you happy.
Overly simplifying it. No, what needs to happen is wages going up and lowering prices. And I am not even against loans either, just predatory lending in our current market from "reverse mortgages" to payday loans and even with cars. Our cost of living is fucking absurd, we live in an age where a phone costs as much as a luxury car payment.
No, you don't always buy what makes you happy, that is what gets lots of people in trouble. I will be the first to admit I cant balance a checkbook to save my life. We do however far too much in America market quick fix financing and dept as a solution. Even things like dept refinancing is a scam preying on people who already have problems.
Far too much of marketing anything is about a quick fix, from the food we eat to the technology we buy and the vehicles we drive. You cannot simply drive down wages and consume your way to prosperity.
