俺就认识一家不差钱又特抠门的老美,他们不把这个当成抠门或者节俭,美其名曰responsible to money, 对钱负责?

回复zishuan的评论: true! always a good thing to use brain

Though physicians may not be as rich as certain businessmen, they are gernerally well off. Not all of them are frugal, but most are money-smart. They don't like some Chises doctors who need redbags/gray-income to supplement their income, but they don't waste their hard-earn money either. My friend is definitely one of them "being frugal" and don't care those who needs to show off to cover their more modest status: She paid off her loan, already paid off her house before her graduation from residency and now happily lives in a mansion.

回复zishuan的评论: cause they don't care about or in need of more labels. Branding is a powerful marketing tool to collect money from consumers who accept the idea and willingly pay more for "brand name".

回复shaoaifeng的评论: check your grammar before posting. couldn't believe you are trying to make a point with that kind of lousy sentences. fyi, spending less on things is not equivalent to frugal; and frugal is an virtue.

回复曲线救国的评论: 烦请你把你关于老美的等级清单给列一下?

one of my white colleague and her husband are both physicians. She told me she bought "a load" of children's clothing for less than 100 bucks in Macy's clearance sale.

你咋净和这样的老美混在一块?

不太具有代表性,大多老美喜爱shopping,非常浪费滴说~~~
我周围的老美没有一个如你所描述的这般。

Being frugal means "shopping for necessity, not for luxury or fun."

I really depends on the level of people you deal with. There are beggars and there are professionals. Each group has a different life style. It is a virtue when a millionaire is not over spending. It is foolish when a poor person spends more than he can afford.

老美非常不节省 根深蒂固很难培养有我们父辈那样的节俭意识

well, Americans cheap like those you blogged here are mostly losers...
It depends on the area. Americans could be trifty, but think about: who has the most income in the world and where all the full price items sold to. Americans are the largest group spending most of the money, they are just not in the in your level or around you.
