The Washington Post’s Color of Money columnist, Michelle Singletary says it’s time to drop the consumer label: One of my New Year’s resolutions is to stop referring to myself as a consumer. The idea for the resolution actually came from reader Tom Krohn, who suggested that it’s not just the country’s spending habits that need to change for the better, but the language we use to describe who we are.
