Have Australians become too caught up in consumerism?
- Are we placing too much emphasis on buying “luxury” items rather than necessities?
- Are we relying on credit rather than saving for the future?
- What education do we need to start planning for the future financially?

Many Australians are locked into a increasing consumerism oriented society. Where are the values of thrift and frugality?

Let’s have an award for Consumer of the Year. She is the person who keeps our global economy ticking over. Governments around the world are at last recognising our worth, giving us money and telling us to go out and spend. Hooray for the Consumer!

At what point do we look at the alternatives to ‘growth’ as the key panacea for a ‘better’ society? Economic commentary is very good at shrouding references of consumers shopping for things that they probably don’t need as ‘consumer confidence’.
