What about crap?

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm always on the lookout for some extra cheddar.  I used to know a lady who assembled junk mail at her house while she watched soap operas and indoor tanning lotion reviews on TV.  I'm not sure how well it paid, but she had enough money to buy crap.  I mean, disposable crap.  It always used to seem to me that people only bought crap when they had plenty of money.  For instance, my job pays the bills.  So if I were to get a few extra dollars a month working with Click and Clack's landscaper, Moses Lawnigan, I would then be able to get things like disposable cameras, $2 snow-globes, or that stupid pot-scrubber with the handle that holds dish soap.  Since I'm a grown-up now, it seems more like that crap is the reason people don't have plenty of money.  I mean, here I am working a single 40 hour a week job with no college education (which I'm fixing now, for those of you paying attention) and raising 4 children while Leeanne stays home to raise them.  We're not getting rich by any stretch of the imagination, and things are tight, no doubt.  But if we can make it like this, why can't people with only 2 children? Or two jobs and no children?  Because of crap.
