and possibly teenage children)
- buy a new car when the old one gets to no more than five
or six years old
- buy cars for your teenage children
- live in a nice three or four bedroom house with all the
modern conveniences

restaurants and fast food places
- drink sodas continuously; eat a lot of potato and
tortilla chips, sweets and other junk food
- eat a lot of red meat and high calorie, high fat foods
- wear a lot of designer clothes (i.e. name-brand, high

- continuous impulse spending, spending on things one
doesn't really need
- great waste, foolish expenditures, saving little or
nothing
- permissive attitudes towards illicit sex, crime and
violence; rampant immorality; emphasis on personal
freedom and personal rights instead of on moral
responsibility and duty.
