Having been a member of the resistance for years, I can't take that advice.
We are done with saving, scrimping & making do. This is no longer the America where that is admirable or even wise. It only makes you the target of higher taxes, so you can foot the bills that Obama is ringing up at an unprecedented rate. And if you think ANY of the current administration's programs will be rescinded by the next administration, you are far more optimistic than I.
Your wealth (no matter how well you guard it) is no longer your own. And day by day, it will be even more of a target by the wealth re-distributors. Spend it yourself or watch others appropriate it & spend it for you.
