when I lived in the U.S. had mind set of not really caring to much if I did not have a large saving or not.

Is that true for most of you on this board living in the U.S.?

After I married a Japanese my thinking changed, most Japanese think it's very important to save.

Is that the answer to US economy problem? you are told to go and spend (after 9-11 the answer from Bush was go out and spend)...

What would happen if people started saving more and spending (or using credit) less?
I think that has more to do with age and maturity in the US, or possibly just rationally thinking. A lot of people though cannot save, they are living pay check to pay check and barely scrapping by. Myself included.

I had to fire him. He became obsessed with boobies (google included) and he wouldn't stop drawing them!
