If I had more money to spend, I would have no problem spending it.

Let’s see……..for me, i would spend more if we weren’t in a recession and consumer prices were more affordable. Some items are just way over priced.

You spend at your own risk. The big GREED government and banking machines have not finished to rein of terror among the masses.

I was just awarded over a million dollars for a motorcycle accident where I nearly died…I am spending like a mofo

Why spend?

Consumption of useless garbage is what helped us all dig us into our debts..

I think I would start consuming again, after the FED is abolished, after our national debt is wiped clean, and after our government no longer taxes labor as ‘income’ (its an even exchange, my life, for a little money, im not gaining anything)

I haven’t stopped. I doubt if many of us have. Are there people here who did not buy a single Christmas gift? Most of us did. How many of us have two or more cars in our family? Have more clothes than we really need? Are eating more than beans, rice, and hamburger?

Spending is still going on. But we also need to do something about the quality of products we produce. The gov’t can’t instill work ethics in people.

Hussein Obama to resign. Other than that, you wanted change you got it.

Enjoy

Knowing that my money was well spent. I’m sick of seeing all of the cheap products out there that are over priced. Its hard to find nice products now without spending an arm and leg.

Up until a week ago, I felt pretty comfortable. I would like to change the company I work for, not because of anything economical… just want a change.

I can’t see doing that in the near future, because what’s going to happen is there will be a false sense of security in the coming months that like we saw during the 90′s can blow up at anytime, right in our face. As an over the road truck driver, I see all 48 states… Consumer spending isn’t being hampered all that much… I see big tvs being wheeled out of big box stores everywhere… Now if these people are using credit poorly I don’t know… Only they would know if they are putting themselves in a hole again.

If McCain had won, I’d feel a lot better about things, but for now, seeing the way things are going, I’m going to hold back on any big purchases… like I did in the late 90′s… knowing things were going to really get bad.

I’m already spending. I never stopped, everyone’s paranoia has driven prices way down. I’m enjoying it quite a bit.

My investments would have to come back up to the levels they were before this fiasco began, my company would have to stop laying off people, and there would have to be something worth buying.

For now, I only buy essentials and put the rest of the money in a shoe box where I know it will at least not lose too much value.

The government stop spending money without any backing. Anyone who has been to business school knows that eventually macroeconomics tells us that such a policy leads inevitably to a devaluation of the currency. That won’t go too well with those who haven’t shipped their funds overseas and denominated them in another currency.
