I’ve been thinking about what I should do with the stimulus check I’ll be getting from the government in a few months. I’m getting too old and responsible to blow the whole thing on frivolities. In fact, I think i’ll put the entire amount in my savings account as an act of protest against rampant consumerism. Take that, ruling elite.

Somebody has to give the good example! American consuments have been called “weak” in European newspapers because they can’t resist buying too much.
