So now my wonderful america is on a spend trend. It's happened once again....someone has gone and made debt look enticing.
Cash for clunkers, and now cash for clunky appliances, and for kids??? cash/discounts for clunky kid stuff. Come on America!
CAUTION!!! I think we should all take a moment to remember the generation who lived or were born during the Great Depression. Many of us still know or knew someone from that Era. One of the characteristics of this generation of people is the need to keep what has been accumulated over the years. SAVE, SAVE, SAVE. While it is good to be frugal I worry that now, this new recession generation will be caught in a bargain trap. The words "sale", "clearance", and other low price jargon catch our attention as many of us allow the fear of not getting this "deal" again rule our wallets. BEWARE this hazardous habit and think twice, or three, or five times if you have to about what you are about to do. Remember, spending money that you don't have, even if it's a good deal, is still putting you in debt.
