can a maxed out nation find true riches

I do not think the way that the wealthy people keep on spending their money the way they are, not caring and buying things that they probably will only use once and then never use again, will not make our thriftiness last as long as the recession. All these millionaires keep on spending millions of dollars to put towards their personal use, I mean there's nothing wrong with it, but theres more that they could do with their money that could benefit us in the long run.

If the people who are rich would have spent their money on things that could benefit us we would have alot more advantages and we would have alot more things that would help, we would have better roads, wider freeways, faster cars, more convenient things that we use in our everyday life.

At times, my family is spending too much and I mean I've tried telling my dad to try and save his money, but I think he knows whats hes doing because he keeps stocking our pantry up with things that dont have to be cooked and lots of jugs of water and all that good stuff just incase something does happen we will be okay for awhile until everything gets back to the way its supposed to be.
