She still is but in these days of a bad economy, Americans have more money than brains.
I'm not one to go shopping much, practically not at all except occasionally for clothing, so I had no idea about what Americans spend their money on in the malls. After going shopping with my wife over the last couple of weeks, I am APPALLED at the TRASH that people buy, probably on credit.
One of the ones that strikes me the most odd (apologies in advance to all of you who like this stuff) is Swarovsky crystal. To me, that stuff just screams "trailer park just hit the lotto". Again, sorry if you like it and I'm wrong.
