That's so 2005

Nothing new here, but an enjoyable summation to read anyway (even for me, who qualifies for at least half of the face-palm mistakes in this list).

Funny!!

My fave - House Porn. If only that would go away.

I don't get why granite is #2 though. Love me my granite. I didn't get the memo it didn't work and I just have to laugh at the assumptions we get on how much it cost.

Some interesting tidbits of truth in there - obviously written by a snarky journalist that doesn't have any money.

I love how all the things that people actually like when times are good are now so unpopular. Big house, granite, stainless appliances, big tv and nice cars are all great things to have if you can afford them. Lots of people earn a decent living making these things after all.

BTW, clean your stainless with olive oil - works great.

lol - the article had a bit of a 'i told you so' tone which got a bit annoying. but they are all interesting objects to point out.
Las Vegas though? bah. you'd have to be stupid not to realise that it's going to drain your money the second you step off the plane/car. It's an experience!
