The Economy is Bad! So What? Christmas is Almost Here!

[firstdown]

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.
