Consider a move to Sweden!

Nah, come on. The US would collapse if consumers got smart and stopped buying on a whim, thus reducing sales revenue, but I think you guys would be ok. We're built on people buying things blindly.

No offence but Swedish people are also nuts when it comes to shopping. I have seen some figures representing last year's sales on different areas.... Gee. And why would all the Christmas shopping mania start already in September if it wasn't for the people spending all their money 3-4 times before the holidays?
