I'm hopeful but skeptical that America's relatively sudden interest in saving will keep but I'm mostly curious to know what you think. Once conditions improve economically, do you think Americans will go back to their spendthrift ways or do you think that the current crisis has or will radically alter American consumption and that we're entering an "Age of Frugality"? In short, are we seeing a "Thrift Shift?" Please comment.
