American veterans of World War I often lived beyond their means due to a combination of factors, including post-war economic inflation, a lack of stable employment opportunities, and the allure of consumerism in the booming 1920s. Many felt entitled to enjoy the benefits of their service, leading to a spending philosophy characterized by immediate gratification and a desire to savor life after the hardships of war. This financial philosophy can be described as "living for the moment" or "carpe diem," reflecting a focus on present enjoyment rather than long-term financial stability.
