Just not with Tempests comment that "everyone is greedy". Also, when he asks "How many things do you own or have bought on credit?" (I'm assuming that this just means general purchases bought via credit and not cars and houses lol) some people are going be able to say "none" simply because they're not tempted by the latest "must have accessories" and prefer instead to use the perfectly good previous versions that they already own and have bought with cash.

I include a car in the entire "greed" thing.. Not a house as that's more of a long term investment and not something you can realistically save up for unless you're making a ton of cash every year... Which, some people actually do so they could but instead they buy a house that's more than they really need... The vast majority of people lease a car or take out a loan so they can get more than they actually need and so they don't have to be seen driving a "shit box" for a few years until they can save up the money to buy something better.
I still stand by the comment that everyone is greedy.. Everyone wants more, more, more... It's a fundamental aspect of humanity. The world revolves around greed... Do you actually need a lot of the "toys" you have? We all buy so much shit that clutters up our houses, fills our time and takes away from the more important things in life like family and friends.
