If not, it sounds like they are enjoying things that are important to them using that "worthless" money. What does the being off the gold standard have to do with anything? And why do you consider US currency "worthless"? You can use it to obtain almost anything your heart desires, including gold and silver. It has been my experience that the people who complain that US currency is worthless are people that don't have any.
We have a couple we run around with, the wife has allways traded her car in for a new one at 30,000 miles no matter and has had a payment for over 40 years. She believes she will allways have a car payment. He gets a new truck every 3 years period. Just as my DW & I don't understand the logic, they don't understand us driving cars/trucks for 10to 15 years & just paying cash/trade for a new one .and have found some deals on a 2/3 year old vehicle at times.
It's not that goods & services are too expensive, it's your money is worthless. We never should have quit backing our money with gold & silver.
My point of my friends spending vs mine is just different views people have about transportation and other areas.They don't mind being indebt in their mid sixtys and keep saying they can't retire. I prefer being retired, no debt, & yes we have a few bucks stashed but what we have may seem like we are paupers and to another we are uber rich. Do you understand now ?
