Achoo! Do you have affluenza?

Just a reminder that an event Georgette Braun highlighted in her column is coming up.

Jan. 17 — “Not Buying It”: 2 to 5 p.m. at Rockford Public Library Main Branch auditorium, 215 N. Wyman St., Rockford, free. Discussion on Judith Levine’s “Not Buying It,” a chronicle of her yearlong quest to only buy necessities and what that taught her, as well as the film, “Affluenza,” a look at the materialistic attitude that contributed to the current economic situation.

Apparently, video of that film is out there.

I think many of us could use a reminder to cut back on what we don’t need. If any of you have read the book or see the movie, share your thoughts.
