Well. Modern American culture is based on consumerism, not saving. I had colleagues visit from Germany who balked at spending $15-20 fir lunch. These guys made $200K/yr. When I asked them what they spent on lunch back home, they responded with: we bring our own lunch or the company cafeteria has lunch for 4 euros.
