Waiting In Line
People waiting in line for hours to buy stuff that they haven't earn the money yet, to buy stuff they don't need, to impress people they don't like.
Fights breaking out at mega stores for what; crap that is on sale.
Can you imagine if a real depression hit?
What's the average credit card balance, 7, 8, 9 grand?

I saved a ton of money today, I didn't even go to the sales! Don't need to look for stuff to buy just because it is a little cheaper.
I never buy anything unless I have the money. I have three credit cards, but basically use one and pay them all off every month. I don't like spending money I don't have. I don't like the feeling that I am in debt to someone else.
Well, except for student loans

I had to work today but I heard all my coworkers laments about spouses or significant others geting up at gawd awful hours to hit the stores. I don't shop, there are two little words that get you a thanks and a gurenteed never returned gift. "Gift Card/ Gift Certificate." You can't go wrong with it, just know your recipiants likes and your good to go.

I had to work also, luckily. 12hr today and yesterday and tomorrow. Makes the perfect excuse to not go shopping.

Home Depot had some pretty good deals for this weekend. They have the Ryobi 18v 1/2" drill w/ light for $29.97. Not a drill for contractors and I personally avoid Ryobi but am forced to use them at work. It's a good drill for average home owner use. They also have a fantastic deal on the Ridgid Wet/Dry vaccums. Regular $69.97 they had them on sale for $24.97. Set of 2-way radios with a 3 mile range for $9.99.
I looked at the Sears ad but everything was the regular holiday prices. I didn't see anything that overly impressive.
Oh and I noticed that a lot of these stores are running out of items quickly. Looked it up on the internet and the stores have the same sale prices there, usually once you spend like $50.00 on their website you get free shipping.

you were around for the katrina aftermath weren't ya
Jake00, Yes I was. That was a tragedy for the local areas.
As for a depression country wide; not even close to a depression.
I'm talking about the economic recession known as the great depression.
That's what I meant by a real depression.

I only have 1 credit card and it ALWAYS gets paid in full every month. If I can't afford to pay for whatever it is at the end of the month, then I either can't afford it or don't need it. I'll only go to a sale if it's a really good deal. Like 50-60% off. I won't fight the crowds for 5 or 10%, and I won't wait in line for ANYTHING for more than a few minutes. It's not worth it to me.

GOT:
6 gallons of gas in a can out back
A motorcycle with a 2 gallon tank
3/4 tank in the truck, and the bike fits in the bed of it.
- Stand in line for what exactly?
I already have all I want. 99% of everything new is not only crud, it does not interest me.
