The quotation of Will Roger : " To many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't it like" is aimed at people who can't help buying things, they are frenzy-shoppers and also called shopaholic. This people buy all the time clothes and products with cash and credit cards but also on credit, so " money they haven't earned" . Because of their addiction they but products they don't need. But buy them in order to show their Social States and to impress others. Actually people think that we can't be happy without consuming.
The quotation is funny and withy because Will Rogers points out that consuming may be used to impress people: " To impress people they don't like". So it's ridiculous they care about people think of them even people they don't like. This quote refer to conspicuous consumption, to spend money in ostentatious way. It's a sad reality in our crisis society. Still today, too many people give more importance to the things they process , we live in consumer society.

This quote doesn't apply to me because even if i like shopping i'm careful about the way i sped my money. I care about money and i now that it's difficult to get money especially with the crisis. So i do my best to save my money even though sometime i spend a lot for things i'm absolutely not a shopaholic because it's ridiculous to go into debt to buy things to impress people who don't care about me.
