Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need.Will Rogers
We spend money we don't have, on things we don't need, to make impressions that don't matter.Tim Jackson
We spend our way to the poorhouse. We buy giant TVs and iPads. Our children wear nice clothes thanks to high-interest credit cards and payday loans. We purchase homes we don't need, refinance them for more spending money, and declare bankruptcy, often leaving them full of garbage in our wake. Thrift is inimical to our being.J. D. Vance
Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.Will Rogers
Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks, there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.Jarvis Cocker
