How about this feature in The Age: In praise of frugality: no to credit cards

Perhaps I should take up the offer of a credit card and get into debt? Then I could get a car so I could drive out to shopping centres to buy in bulk, and while I'm at it, I could also get a mortgage so I'd have something to stress about with my contemporaries who live 20 kilometres from the city, so they have to drive everywhere. Argh. I'd much prefer to keep walking to the library.

That's partly the theme I was working on here:
Oil, House Prices, Credit? Three parts of the same story

And Professor Depew and Mish Shedlock started a few months ago writing about how it's now 'Cool to be Frugal': http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2008/04/cool-to-be-frugal.html

Yup. If only I could convince my wife... we don't need more stuff! And we definitely didn't need a wholew new set of kitchen utensils. I'm told that the old ones were the wrong color - they didn't match the decor in the kitchen. :-(
