True. But, then, these people, arguably, live very peculiar lives. I mean, there are many Latino immigrants in the US who work three jobs at minimal wage and manage to send substantial money to their families back home. They also sleep 6 hours a day four men to a room. You also might call it "culture", but I do not like to overuse such words.
The key thing is, would those people whom you are marking as "overconsuming and lacking in foresight" be happier in expectation had they changed their behavior and saved for their children´s college by refusing themselves daily pleasures of life. I, for one, strongly doubt that.
