I am 26 and I can't believe the amount of people around my age that go on 2 exotic trips a year.
People still in school mind you, saddled with huge student debt, or just entering the workforce.
Not sure where they get the money to pay for these things, but kudo's to them if they are working hard and not financing these trips with credit cards, student loans or lines of credit.

Not sure how long this party can last, but one thing is for sure, everyone needs to start living within their means, young and old.

I think Media has a lot to do with unsustainable consumerism.

How many television programs or magazines do we read, advertising a lifestyle we aspire to acheive?
Well, with cheap and easy credit, those unsustainable lifestyles are far too easy to buy, rather than achieve.
