Interesting article on Slate.com examining the economics and facts behind the argument made by Bill Cosby (and others) that black Americans spend too much money on designer clothes and fancy cars, and don't invest sufficiently in their futures. Of interesting note: "using data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey for 1986-2002, they find that blacks and Hispanics indeed spend more than whites with comparable incomes on what the authors classify as "visible goods" (clothes, cars, and jewelry). A lot more, in fact—up to an additional 30 percent".
