Is media fueling our country's debt habits?

On friday my hubby and I were trying to find something to watch when Father of the Bride II came on TV. I love Steve Martin and those movies. We watched the first movie right before getting married so it made us laugh to think that the trend could continue and we could get pregnant after watching this film about a mother and daughter having children at the same time and how it changed their family. This film is hilarious, but I noticed that it made me feel like I was not doing things quite right. I remember the same sort of feeling when I watched the first one and saw how glamorous the wedding was compared to my reception and then how many great things they had for their babies in the 2nd movie. Throughout both films the father pays and pays and pays for all these material things and it makes you think that its no big deal to get into debt or to make unwise financial decisions. Although they are stereotypical, I could see how movies like this could create an image of the perfect American Family that the viewers might try to emulate and therefore get into debt.
