I think we're going back to simpler, less ostentatious, less wasteful living.

I don't mean like sewing our own clothes and raising our own livestock, it's not a return to the Waltons.

But less of the wasteful stuff that P-O-P mentioned. And more mowing your own yard, cleaning your own house, not paying silly sums for logo clothing, fewer Cayennes and more Hondas, fewer 5,000 sq ft houses with 5 bathrooms, no more TV in every room, etc.

You know what - I think its a good thing. Getting there will be painful, because that means industries downsize and people lose jobs (over 1MM this year, probably 2+MM before it's done). And the stock market maybe goes to 10X . . .
