On my favorite morning radio show yesterday, they were discussing signs in the real world about the economy...things like coffee shop lines, movie theaters, airports, etc. Many callers gave anecdotes on their job status and what they were seeing. Then the discussion turned to the fact that all the morning show people had jobs and nothing had changed for them economically. So, should they be spending or conserving? I wanted to YELL at them...spend! I don't mean to spend randomly but I do mean to purchase mindfully.
Support your local coffee shop so that it stays in business. Hire the contractor to do the work around the house NOW...he may have more time for you and can do it more quickly. Consider your purchases - what is important to you - but if you can, don't wait. Many people and businesses need your business. If the people and businesses who are economically viable stop spending, this recession will continue longer than it should. And, businesses, this is a great time to get more customers. Some of your competitors will not survive this recession - connect with new customers now.
The "economy" is real people...support them.
