RE: * The More Money You Have .. !! More Money You Spend, Why Do You Spend More Than You Have? *
I like the way you think Joel! I agree our economy is consistently running on debt, when that debt is taken away, our economy will implode! I find it really interesting how you talk about fear and guilt. The free sample thing is interesting. Recently, I got everyone a free drink at a company hour and everyone felt guilty so they ended up ordering food and drinks and spent more than they would have if I didn't get everyone a free drink! This is a stimulating read. Cheers.
The free drink, is to see the reaction of others when they are required to buy a ticket, they acted and bought more than they should in gratitude, in the case of your friends who bought food and drink, your friends felt guilty for arriving empty-handed ... and for them to feel good about themselves, they spent more than they had in their pockets.
A very accurate assessment. Yes they had to feel good about themselves so they spent more than they had in their pockets. Brilliant.
