Blogs which give our lives meaning
Here is the blog, here is the premise:
From August 28, 2006 through August 27, 2007, I'm going to buy (at least) one...superfluous item, use it, and then write about it. What made me want to buy it? How did it feel to give someone money, and take a product in exchange? What will the workers think of me? If it's food, what will it taste like? If it's a product, what will happen when I use it for the first time? What kind of feeling will I get when I plug it in, charge it up, and turn it on? [Judith] Levine calls her experience "voluntary simplicity." I'll call mine "conscious consumerism."
...Since today is the first day of my year of superfluous shopping, I decided to kick off the experiment by purchasing the book that inspired me: Judith Levine's Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping. It's hard to think of something less necessary than a book about why it's good to stop shopping. For that reason, and because I felt I should be familiar with and understand Levine's work if I'm going to fully understand my own, I made this book the first purchase of the year.
The public library is my version of this idea, the price is free, and the blog is called MarginalRevolution.com.

Yes, he is probably aware of what he wrote - which is why he said "price" and not "cost."

"F*** the cost, the book is mine"
Pretty much sums up why we have a negative savings rate.
I truly could care less about some 20 or 30 somethings "discovery" process in discretionary consumerland.
Just count me as an old fashioned scold I guess.

Martin,
I said, "F*** the library," not "F*** the cost". Obviously I factor the cost into my decision whether or not to purchase something, and I'd venture to say I save more than the average "20 or 30 something." I can't say that with certainty, but I'm pretty confident...
I'm 27, by the way.
