These bloggers must be Xsters

Thrifty advice for you broke ass beeeeyoooootches! Since their site is called Get Rich Slowly they seem to be in touch with reality. They'll never get a job at CNBC now.

In this era of financial ruins I now understand how a common person may feel tempted to buy a ski mask and revolver and make a little extra on the side.

There is a report out that the recession is creating bank robbers.

How nice.

But I just got back from vac. and I saw cars on the road with temporary tags, I saw new houses being built -- but what I really noticed, new churches being built.

I counted four and the fifth one was either adding on or just doing major rennovation, I couldn't tell. And that's over a three state span that I drove.

Have no idea what this means, per se, other than work is being done and people are attending church.

Really? In Florida there is very, very little construction. There are a lot of 1/2 built houses where the "owner" ran out of money.

Maybe it is the DC metropolitan area, but I've been waiting 2 weeks to get something done in my yard that I can't do myself -- and I'm a cash paying customer. I'm waiting for them to get me in the schedule. And that is not unusual.

I do believe people have cut back, but every day when I go home all the restaurants I go past are packed -- from Outback to Applebee's to Carrabba's to the Chinese rest. Not fast food places, per se, sit-down restaurants.

Try and get your car washed or detailed -- the wait is 2 hours. No, that is not a necessity at all, but it does need to be done sometimes and the line is forever. And they just opened a fancy new car wash place.

The mall has plenty of people in it, don't know if they're spending money, but when I go, I do have to wait in line.
The bank has extended hours and is always busy -- with 3 and 4 tellers. It's not just 1 teller when you go or 1 cashier at the store. Same with the grocery stores.

So I'm not saying here is the answer, but "somebody" is working here and "somebody" has a couple dollars.

BUT -- I don't see houses selling, tho, I see a lot of For Rent signs on houses.
