is it ME or people are BROKE!

People are just really cheap right now IMO. This whole talk of the economy being bad is keeping people from spending money. If people would just stop talking about how bad it is, I think the people that have money would start spending it again and then the economy would begin to turn around. Obviously there are a ton of people without jobs but those with jobs just aren't spending it seems.

I on the other hand am spending just as much as ever. Right now the only thing that seems to be a really FAST sale are used cars. I have sold three cars in the last 7 days alone. I just picked up another the other day for $150, spent $30~ for tune up parts and have someone coming to look at it tomorrow for $850. Sold my SuperCoupe for $2500 (paid $1200), Sold the Astro for $1200 (paid $350), Sold the civic for $650 (got it for free), sold the Monte Carlo for $1400 (paid $75) etc...

again, my point is this... I think people talking about how bad the economy is has a LOT to do with it being as shitty as it is. I am in college, I have a family to support and I just bought another house yet I manage to still have $1K+ a month in "disposable income".

I am just impatient. I do enough side work that I can afford whatever I please with a little time, my real money sucker is my girlfriend, not the economy or anything else. Im just tired of hearing raps songs about the recession, Jeezy doesnt know shit about the recession, he is a rapper. The economy doesnt hurt drug dealers anyway. Junkie is still gonna get his fix. Sure soda went from 125 to 150 a bottle ooOOOOOoo ouuuuch. Gas went back down. Roll with the punches.
