I disagree with the article. Consumerism is great in my opinion; it makes money flow through our society which raises the country's GDP and eventually the people's standard of living.
But, I think that the reason I don't agree with the article is because I'm not the writers intended audience. From things inside the article like, "Set up direct deposit so that 10 percent or more of your paycheck goes automatically into a savings or investment account", I can tell that it is directed to wage workers. Specifically, to people of poor to lower middle class with problems of having money and debt (credit card). Another way to tell that this who the article is intended for is the related articles on the site. One of them is called, “How to save money for a major purchase”. Obviously, this these articles are not directed to people who shop for Prada and drive a BMW.
With that said, I think the article is good in directing those people on how to save for the future. I would imagine, the article is intended to open them up to ways to save for the long run (and spend time with their kids).
