Bill Counts continue to decline

Ask yourself this. Have you decided to not make purchase because of the economy? I know I have.

Actually my spending has gone the other way. I've spent a lot more in the last year than normal, largely because the sales are so good.

But then, I always played the Good Fiscal Conservative. My car is paid for. I don't have any credit card debt. Only debt I have is my mortgage. While I guess everyone else is trying to lower debt and increase savings I've used the recession as a chance to lower savings and buy stuff I wanted at a discount! (Amazon DVD box set sale?! I'm in!)

But I'm kind of winding down on that now. Can't keep spending forever, no matter how good the sales are. I guess hopefully the other side of things will come around soon as well and people who were paying down debt and building up savings will start to redirect back to purchasing as people like me start to wind down our purchasing.
