Cheery article about the economy...

..ok, not actually.

"Consumers are feeling worse about their personal finances and prospects - far worse than government statistics about the economy would indicate."

How do you feel about the economy? Do you think it's going to improve? Do you think it we're in for far worse in the near future?

I don't see it getting better. I see food prices going up and gas prices going up steadily. And I'm thinking the squeeze is going to get tighter.

Like the cheery news I heard on CBS Radio News yesterday - that retailers are facing their worst recession in 75 years. Think about that a bit. 75 years ago, we had a depression, not a recession.

That idea makes me depressed.

I put a book on the Depression on hold at the library today. May as well get in the right frame of mind...

Things in the overall economy don't look good, but my own personal economy is looking fine. We haven't changed any spending habits. In fact, I've injected over $15,000 of discretionary spending into the economy in within the last six months! thumbsup.gif

Yes, my personal economy is still fine also. My concern is just wondering if the general economy will get bad enough to effect my personal economy.

Some day I'll be a doctor and make a lot of money. I think I'll be making a lot more $ than I now dream about, not because I'm that much better of a doctor, but rather because the government has caused such tremendous inflation with their wars, spending, and monetary policies.
