俺就認識一家不差錢又特摳門的老美,他們不把這個當成摳門或者節儉,美其名曰responsible to money, 對錢負責?

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.

回複zishuan的評論: 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".

回複shaoaifeng的評論: 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.

回複曲線救國的評論: 煩請你把你關於老美的等級清單給列一下?
zishuan 發表評論於
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.

你咋淨和這樣的老美混在一塊?

不太具有代表性,大多老美喜愛shopping,非常浪費滴說~~~
我周圍的老美沒有一個如你所描述的這般。

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.

老美非常不節省 根深蒂固很難培養有我們父輩那樣的節儉意識

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.
