So, Now What?

I read the other day about a guy that went to a car dealership and the place was deserted. He said that a lot of the cars had dead batteries from not having been turned over in a long time and that some of the keyless entry fob's were even dead. I guess it's pretty plain that people just aren't buying right now. Unless it's food, gas, or something important, like safety equipment.

I mean, other than necessities, who is paying full price for ANYTHING right now? Unless it's on sale I'm not interested. Or if I have to buy it, I'm at least going to find a coupon or maybe by one used.

I just feel bad for anyone working in sales or retail right now. It isn't pretty and it doesn't appear to be getting any better. I personally think that we are in for the long haul on this one. That people are going to have to be much more frugal for the next few years until some sort of innovation comes along to drive the market back up (ie the internet)

Tighten those belts...
