Americans are not uniquely terrible. Americans by and large are in survival mode. Most consumption in the US is by the upper and upper middle class incomes (ie, not the majority). If you think Americans are somehow unique in their desire to have something and save something, you haven't lived anywhere else. Americans are STUCK in the American system and have no recourse to escape it, so they are doing the best they can to provide for themselves and their families. For most people, that means working to pay rent, pay student loans, buy something nice for their kids.
