Date: April 19th, 2018 11:29 PM Author: big swollen therapy coffee pot No income is disposable! 90% of americans are destitute and will never retire, lol @ "disposable income." People threw around terms like this in the halcyon days of 1999 when it was thought that the good times would never end, but today it's all but an anachronism. "Disposal citizens" is far more apt imho. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3954378&forum_id=2#35878688) |

Date: April 19th, 2018 11:38 PM Author: big swollen therapy coffee pot It was a shower thought, just looking at the fancy tiles in my Palace of a bathroom, it brought me back to my youth where I used to think of random things like, "where the hell does all of this stuff come from and why is there so much of it, and how can we afford it?" which put me in a 1990s frame of mind, wherein it was all too normal for "stuff" to proliferate all around us. HUNDREDS of CDs/games/toys, whatever you name it. Malls stuffed to the gills with kids cooler than you with ton$ of money to spend. It was around this time that I used to hear of the term, "disposable income." The term, by its very nature, is ingenius. First, the notion of things being "disposable" is purely GC. The profit motive is written into the DNA of such a phrase. Something that is disposable must be replaced, which is music to GC's ears. Further, the notion of something being disposable just makes you WANT to dispose of it because of the type of convenience that that entails. Just hearing the term makes you WANT to dispose of your income. The type of thinking that hey, if you don't have a lot of Responsibilities, why *not* waste all of your money and not care? This type of thinking is totally alien today. We as a cohort wouldn't be caught dead spending more than 7.5% of our incomes in a given year, but this type of wisdom was not commonplace in the 90s as far as I can tell.
