Reading this article from a peak oil theorist point of view is FRIGHTENING. Boy are these people ready for a FALL.

I wanted to print the whole article out in full but out of respect for the copyright, I will put some quotes from it and link it with a URL.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he group beloved by retailers have been dubbed Neo-Consumers by consumer behaviour experts Russ Honeywill and Verity Byth. They comprise 24% of the population but their discretionary spending is 48%. Unlike their opposite number, the Traditionalists, who favour shopping malls, good sales and revel in retail opportunities such as Christmas and Mother's Day, the Neo-Consumers put value and authenticity ahead of saving money, instead favouring style and new experiences. Neo-Consumers buy twice as many books, fly three times more often, spend seven times as much on clothes, and drink four times more of the top-shelf wines than Traditionalists.

Most are aged 20 to 40, and while their sense of I deserve.

Hell, I'm 50 and my skin aint saggin' and I got no wrinkles.

Think of all you'll derive out of being alive
If you you are among the very young at heart!
