This is Awesome!
"Most in media do not understand the reality of this deliberately reduced and postponed spending as a political resistance movement. But that’s what it is. I’ve talked to many affluent entrepreneurs and professionals who have worked hard for years to finally reach their present income levels. They are intentionally refusing to spend money as a means of protest."
GO baby Go Baby!
We all need to do this to get real change NOW!

I don't mind if this gets more coverage, but in my opinion Dan Kennedy is just another egotistical guy who wants to brag about his wealth.
A lot of people, not just the wealthy, have taken another look at their use of plastic and buying habits, and a lot of us understand we'll all be better off in the long run if we pay-as-we-go.
If we can't pay cash, why buy it new--we check out thrift stores, or don't buy it at all.
If we can't buy a home, we get a tiny apartment or one room, then we don't miss not having much "stuff"...
...then when or if we ever get wealthy, we won't brag about it. It's so unbecoming.

Fox round table today was discussing some CEO's advice to his employees not to spend any money (talking bonuses) until the political heat is off. Not really an ARM movement, but it will add to the non-spending.

This is awesome... count me in... well once I'm affluent that is. But for now you have my complete moral support.
