Economy vs. radical romance

The relation of the economy to the radical romance is this idea of instant gratification. In todays market, it is so easy to get a hold of something. The problem is this: people watch the romatic comedies and see these people getting almost anything they want. They come up with these clever schemes to treat the person they are trying to win over. Instant gratification has developed from these movies to create a culture where we try and appear like these characters to gain the appeal and lives they have, yet to do so may require ourselves to plunge into debt. The reason we still do it is because marketers today allow you to not pay anything for over a year, or zero percent interest, or a small amount at a time. All these options give the idea that something can be achieved when it really cannot all to appease the need to have it now. The movies don’t really show people saving up for something anymore, rather they just have money or money comes to them. What is this teaching in society today other than the idea that we need to spend now so we can acquire now even if we don’t have the money to spend.
