Believe you're right though, folks just don't seem to understand the concept of living within their means. New is not always better, in fact often it's definitely not as good as the old. Case in point. We're traveling out of state this wkend -- unhaul filled with some things for our daughter who's moving. As I look at the stuff we've put in the staging area, I'm reminded how much good we get out of our stuff. The book case we're taking out for her was the one we had in her room when she was little (she's now 26); more importantly it's one I remember when I was little (I'm turning 60 this year). This is the very bookcase my mother made into The Magic Christmas Fireplace for Santa to come down. It's well made and is now making it's way to the 3rd generation. I need to ask Daddy how long he and Mom had it. They would have been married 64 years last August had she not died in April. There really is no need to buy stuff all the time. People need to take care of what they have, too often they trash it. Sandy I’ve never heard of the show; but it sounds like common sense.
