<We're talking to two different things..........Americans may spend more than they should but that doesn't change the fact that wages have essentially stayed flat for the average worker while the rich and corps continue to prosper nicely.< If you spend more than you have today.. Then you will have less than you need tomorrow. Consumer Credit cards are like a "convenient PayDay Advance Store" in your pocket. Building Wealth only works when you spend less than you make. If you habitually spend more than you make, then making more will not increase your wealth, because you will simply continue to spend more than you make. If you don't have the will power to control your spending, then you will never become wealthy. Always easier to blame someone else than blame yourself.
