Conspicuous consumers

Setting up this new house has been a spending spree. Two new recliners, new patio furniture, new bed, new computer desk, new washer and dryer, new dishwasher, new laptop, and the most recent purchase, a new red leather sofa and chair. Our belongings from Tennessee will soon arrive, thank goodness. Maybe we'll be able to slow down the buying a little bit and just start enjoying the things we've already bought.

Oh, wait. We'll need new end tables, new night stands, new lamps, new paint.... Thank goodness for the new job!
