What's stopping me from buying today...

Recession is a man-made madness. Born out of the greed of men and then compounded by the skittishness of other men. The people I feel the most sorry for are those "sub-prime" targets who were sold they could live the dream and then had it pulled from under them. Those of us who have some money to spend can help to "buy" our way out of this madness.

It was easy to see this coming. The Consumer driven markets went out of wack by many greedy huslers and many dumb people buying on credit without the necessary income to eventually pay their debts.........many people, I hope will realize that they can´t have whatever they want without someday paying it.....but we will see things coming into shape again, they always do.
People all over want more and more each day, materialism is rampart and again someday some will get the shaft again........too many dumbsicles around.:bs:
 
I agree with Gera - the people who loaded themselves up with debt for things they didn't need (or in many cases really want, but HAD to have!) are the cause of all this.

I agree that the only way to get any economy back on its feet is to spend, but only buy what you can afford, for [insert deity here]'s sake!!!

While I do feel kinda sorry for those people, I don't pity them. If you don't have the brains to realize you are spending over your means, you get what you sow. I have no debt other than the basic monthly bills so I do have money to play with (just spent $225 of a 3D modeling/rendering app I really didn't need, LOL :isadizzy:) and I do try to do my part for the economy, especially since I am in retail management. I'll also be getting a new PC sometime soon. :d

Hmmm, surely one of the reasons they are at the bottom of the heap is that they don't have a grasp on such matters and they were targeted as a potential new market by people who should have known better...but greed always comes out in the wash...and millions suffer.

To quote post #1
"I want to buy Aerosoft's Catalina (held up while the team was diverted to finish a jet???). I want to buy an FsX Lancaster and an FsX P51 (any or all versions). I'd buy an FsX Tiger or Gipsy Moth. I'd buy an FsX P38 (any or all versions). I'd buy all of Bill Lyons type aircraft as FsX native. I'd buy the FsX native Dc2 or any or all of the Maam aircraft.
My credit card waits (unless I fall foul of this recession) to purchase products at a reasonable price and I'd bet that there's a lot of folk out there who feel the same?"

But that Carribean scenery does look nice:mixedsmi: hmmmm...maybe:costumes:<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
