I'm an old guy (59)..in the 50/60's my family was afraid to buy the lowest price...quality just couldn't be too good...now, thanks in large to Wal-mart, everything has to be the cheapest...quality is no longer a consideration in most people's minds. Saabs are way cheaper now than in the 60/70/80's corrected for inflation...so is just about everything. As the "old" saying goes, we get what we pay for!
Funny thing is, we aren't benefitting. We just have more junk, higher debt, more stress, and work much harder to fall farther behind...
Go figure...thanks Wal-mart!
Sorry for the rant...
