I'm asking which cities have the least culture of wasting money, meaning you don't feel pressured to spend cus everyone else is or isnt, or to keep up with the jones's, etc...basically being ceap in a good way...and which have the most culture of wasting/keeping up with jones's?

Pretty much most cities outside of NYC, LA, Miami, and Vegas.

I disagree its that limited, most people waste money big time. Especially in sunbelt cities (retirees and tech ). Thats why they build so many luxury condos there, it goes hand in hand with wasting money. Least waste is probably in old northeastern & appalachian areas. Depending on definition of waste, which is not so easy to determine. but I'm guessing you mean luxury sales.

Idk, I just see those four cities being the biggest "go there and spend spend spend" cities in the U.S. I would agree though much of the northeast, as well as some parts of the Midwest are most likely the most conservative when it comes to freely spending money.
In terms of "spending culture", I can't think of other cities in the U.S. that fit that description other than the ones I listed. Atlanta has a big of a "get rich and spend" culture, but that's more of a "wannabe" culture.
I think if you look for these things you can find your nirvana all over the US:
- not an "exurb" or new suburb
- existing city or older suburban areas not undergoing gentrification
- neighborhood value approximates the median of the local area, or below the median in fast growing cities
- neighborhood consists overwhelmingly of long-term residents
- neighborhood with few or no high-end autos and trucks in their driveways (Mercedes, BMW, loaded pickups, etc)
Judging by most of what I've seen on so many C-D threads (and a few on this one), this thread's going to be hilarious, lol. Using money wisely and the average American citizens don't usually go hand in hand. American consumer debt stats back me up. **getting my popcorn and watching**
Cities with lots of elderly people or destitute 3rd world immigrants in them.
In my experience immigrants tend to be the most ambitious and productive people around. I grew up with/around first and second generation immigrants and we always saw other Americans as lazy and wasteful who did not appreciate the opportunities in front of them. They don't need to be Third World.

That makes sense but ambitious and frugal are two different things.
