Consumers Cut Spending, Save Money, Pay Down Debt, Ruin Economy [Economy]

via Consumerist by Laura Northrup on 9/9/09


Good work, consumers of America! You’ve collectively reduced your outstanding debt by $21.5 billion during the month of July. We’re so proud. Except, oops, that’s not so great for the economy.

The report spotlights a consumer determined to sock away cash and pay down debt following the stock market and real estate crashes. Households have saved about 5% of their income in recent months, vs. less than 1% before the downturn.

Long-term, the trend “puts (consumers) in a healthier financial position” by trimming interest costs and encouraging investments for “future needs like college education and retirement,” says John Ryding, chief economist of RDQ Economics.

In the short run, though, “This does not bode well for a significant, sustained rebound in real consumer spending,” Steven Wood, chief economist for Insight Economics, said in a report.

In other words, what’s good for us as individuals is bad for financial institutions. And for the overall economy, which counts on Americans to spend, spend, spend.

But don’t let that stop you from being, you know, responsible and sensible with your finances.

Finally, the school starts again. The house remains quiet after sending kids to schools.  Now companied by my lovely cat, I can sit in my favorite couch with a cup of cream tea doing stuffs I like with my dear computer….  What do I write today? …  Life is good!

Life is good, especially at the time when I need to retire. That’s the beauty of my online business.  I can be anywhere while still keep myself busy with something to do online.

Helping my husband install his personal blog, thinking this is where he should work on to leave his legacy.  He always has beautiful idea of managing personal finance, solving the problems about business planning for his company. Day in and day out, lots of sparkling ideas flew away, now he has somewhere to store his thoughts and also benefits others.
