Aren't you a hairdresser or something like that? How does a cosmetologist manage to afford all your seemingly nonstop galavanting around the globe?

Some hairstylists make a lot of money. Missjo is a high end stylist working at a posh hotel, I believe.

And isn't 'James' a tattoo artist or something?

Just doing tats and cutting hair allows people to show up on Robin Leach's radar? Shit, there are only about four million barely employed tat guys and hairdressers in California.

I guess living in Oz really must rule.

A friend of mine from Minnesota makes around $200,000 a year and only works around 6 months a year.


Here's some of his work

They aren't Americans, meaning they sock their earnings away for things like traveling and not big houses, cars, boats and other ego-driven purchases.

At just over 22 million people...

Australia is the world's thirteenth largest economy and has the fifth highest per capita GDP at $66,984.

Which is much higher than that of the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand.


I don't think they have a problem buying big houses, cars, boats and other ego-driven purchases.

missjo can correct me if I'm wrong, but I sincerely doubt there's a culture of obsessive materialism in Australia which rivals that of America. No, we are the clear #1 in that regard, and whoever's #2 is very, very distant.

Our house is paid off, my credit card balance is zero & I own my car outright
No Kids = No debt
I earn about $50,000 a year that's about $51,408 in USD ;)
I don't buy designer unless it's massively on sale, I don't smoke, rarely drink anymore & these days my idea of a big night out
is walking up King St to our favourite Vietnamese restaurant for dinner & if we're feeling splashy we'll have Gelato & hit the all night book store.

We don't replace anything unless it's irreparably broken, eg our TV is 18 years old but works fine so why upgrade to a LCD or plasma shelling our big bucks when for the amount of TV we watch our one does us fine.

So that's how I can afford my gallivanting ways these days! 8)

Sorry, but, people wanting stuff is universal. The difference is that in the US, the average shmuck has been able to do something about it for quite a long while.

No.

Generally speaking, Europeans, for example, do not value big houses, cars, etc., the way Americans do. Generally, they don't put in the hours and work like we do, because they don't place as much value on acquiring these things. They're perfectly content to work shorter days, while having fewer luxuries.

You are totally full of shit. I've been there. I've worked there. You clearly haven't. Anyone who can afford the Benz or the Beemer drives one. Anyone who can afford the big house lives in one. It's no different there than it is here save that some in Europe are more comfortable with lower expectations.

Southern Euros do Siesta. Very popular in Spain and Italy. But, they do work until 8 PM or so.

Rack.

Euros are "less materialistic" because they realize that most of these materials are out of their reach. Old money Euros have it. Everyone else lives somewhere between poor and lower middle class, by our standards. Really not much point in busting your ass when it is rewarded by ridiculously high income tax rates.

I will give them one thing. If you aspire to be dirt poor, it's a lot nicer to be so there than here.

Do they aspire to be poor, or do they have no other choice? Pick an argument and stick to it, idiot.

The cause and effect is irrelevant. Generally speaking, there is not a culture of materialism in Europe which rivals that of suburban America. Period, EOS.

Actually, the culture in Europe is to not buy things with money they don't have (credit).

Wage disparity is also much less in Europe, hence a larger and healthier middle class. All this and social spending without most European states being net exporters.
