Spend where you must, Save where you can.

This is probably true in the general sense. I've experienced this with the people that I've encountered. I've also encountered this mind-set with myself personally. Our parents that may have gone through the Great Depression thought differently and this mentality to spend and not save is what probably got us into our problems that we're encountering today. The encouraging thing is that this won't be called the Great Recession, but the recession that made us great. We'll come back to the roots of "Spend where you must, Save where you can”
