"Nobody here in the US walks in to a store to drop money on a expensive item before thinking about it."

Lol...We may think about it, but we still spend it!  Americans are wastrels that can't budget and buy frivilous shit.  Look at America's debt, look at Americans' average credit card debt, and look at America's housing market (I'm a builder and licensed real estate agent).

Hell--interest only loans, 100%+ financing, and 40+ year mortgages are the true reasons behind the housing market collapse.

e.g.  Some jackass buys a 500,000 home with NO money down (100% financing)

Watches too much tv and thinks his home will have 40%+ appreciation a year (it won't, especially with the bubble).

Jackass can barely afford home.

Little Mary gets sick (or Daddy loses job, or divorce, etc., etc.)....so Jackass must sell home next year.

So, he sells 500,000 home + Commission Fee + Closing Cost = 540,000!

So Jackass loses $40,000 on brand new home...and then he can't pay his credit card and gets whammied with

15%+ interest rates....And ends up even further in debt

All that = America

Lol, I see it every day.

It comes from irresponsibility with money, uneducated and arrogant consumers, and devious lenders and banks that don't care about the people, but banking high on interest.  Us American's buy what we want, even when we can't afford it.
