I appreciate your thoughtful response, midnight rambler, but my question is more about why people (not law) changed. Why did people begin to accept the idea of paying for something later, instead of saving up for something they wanted?

Herd mentality, the path of least resistance, going with the flow, being 'accepted' by one's peers, etc. Ever heard of Freud's cousin Edward Bernays?

BTW, you DO realize the 'future' of 'money' is using one's 'smart phone' to 'pay for' stuff, right?
