What's on your wish-list? What's on your shit-list so no one will make the same mistake?

Remember kids "fear of economic downturn cause people to spend less, which reduces demand, causing economic downturn." Go out there and buy stuff, perfereably tech gadgets, and help saden keep his job.

People should just do what they always do... charge up those credit cards!

Me and my wife set an amount that we spend on each other and have a budget for all our other family members we buy for. I just cannot believe how people will extend themself so much just to buy people stuff. We do spend a little extra on the kids but we do not go overboard because they also get alot from family members. So I guess I'm not going to stimulate the economy as much as others.

I am pretty sure you are similar to many Americans this year. Spending most likely will go down to further constrict our economy.

I will probably spend more this year than last year its just that we set a budget for christmas. Sometimes we might splurge but its usually something that we would end up buying anyways. I guess our concept is f your worried about how much you have spent on christmas then you have spent too much. My business so far is still growing and I have expanded my business into other areas just in case it slips in some of our current markets. It started paying off this week in a very large sale. I feel this is a great time to do business because while everyone is sitting around waiting for things to change I 'll be making the sales they missed.
