Where'd I Go a.k.a. My Spending Spree
2008-06-06 05:49:00 It's been a while since I updated my blog. I like to use the "I've been busy!" excuse, but that's just another cop-out. I apologize to all my active readers.Seriously though, I have been amazingly busy. With the continuous rise in gas prices, I've sold more Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas in the past month than ever before. Last week I got a check for over $2000...another reminder of what I am giving up. I try to get into the dealership in the morning to handle emails, update inventory, secure financing, and eventually handle all the other small details before I can even get ready to sell cars. Elvis' future brother-in-law will soon be working with me to take over my position; I'll have more things to worry about.In my free time, I've been playing a lot of soccer as well as walking. I'm unsure about the walk to Milwaukee for several reasons now, but I haven't stopped working out. In the past 2 weeks I've lost 10 pounds simply by eating a little less and being more active....

UK's shoppers are still spending but do it online
2008-06-04 07:21:00 UK consumers defied the credit crunch to spend a record amount online with retailers last year, Verdict Research has revealed. Bricks-and-clicks retailers delivered soaring online sales up by 35 per cent to £14.7bn in 2007 – a rate of growth almost 10 times higher than that of the total retail market. Verdict said the convenience of the internet continues to be the main driver of sales, but improved retail websites and increased broadband penetration also fuelled the boom. Verdict's senior retail analyst Malcolm Pinkerton said the fact that consumers have less disposable income to spend was boosting retail online sales, as consumers seek out bargains and use price-comparison websites. "Disposable incomes are being squeezed and what is drawing people online is the perception that the internet is cheaper and that they can shop around to get bargains and lower prices. Broadband is also cheaper and it has broadened the spectrum of people who can shop online." However, Mr Pinkerton s...

Weak Consumer Spending, Record-Low Consumer Confidence Spell Bad News for t
2008-06-02 16:40:00 Consumer spending - the driving force behind the U.S. economy - slowed in April. Soaring prices wiped out any benefit from the scant 0.2% increase in consumer spending in April, the Commerce Department announced. After adjustment for inflation, consumer spending was flat at 0.0%. “Consumers are still spending, but just enough to keep up with price increases and nothing more,” Joel Naroff, president and chief economist of Naroff Economic Advisors LLC, said in a note to clients the day the report was released. The April rate of consumer spending represents a slow-down from March?s 0.4% increase. Inflation was mild, if you disregard food and…

Psychology tricks and increased spending ? The Case of Expensive Wines
2008-05-31 14:10:00 Our psychology is terribly easy to trick. We?re actually pretty good at it ourselvesIn each and every day of our lives we are bombarded with psychological tricks and quirks which have one goal: Make us spend more.Advertisements take many forms and influence us both at a conscious and a subconscious level. However, every now and then a consumer research appears. It?s always rare, small and hard to find due to certain conflicting interests of the media but they always teach us valuable lessons.This time the NY Times (Arik Asimov) gets the credit for giving a stage to a new research on the American wine consumer which I find fascinating.Wine connoisseurs and the image of the Nuevo richWine is probably the drink most associated with good living, refined palate and the upper classes (we?ll discuss associations in advertising in the near future). There are reasons why wine is portrayed and marketed as such a complicated product with infinite grape types, vineyards, years of aging, complic...

This will save me £5.40 every six weeks. I've decided that haircuts, with my job, are a necessity however getting it washed at the salon is not.-Swapped my daughters mobile contract.

No Spending + Money Making = Major Debt Reduction
2008-05-23 13:27:00 I'm still on track with my No Spending Week. On Wednesday night my boyfriend and I ate at his restaurant. That gets comped so we both ate for free. That still counts right? I didn't say I wouldn't consume, just that I wouldn't spend : )It just so happens that when I started to slack, the bf started to slack too. He was making strong progress on his own debt reduction up until recently. Part of that is due to the 401k contributions that are now being taken out of his check. When you're on a tight budget, that 5% can make a big difference. If you don't figure out how to compensate for that deduction its likely that you'll keep spending the same and the difference will show up in your bill paying funds. I think thats what happened for him. We talked about sitting down and doing budgets together. What a romantic way to spend a no-spending Friday night, don't you think? Ha.Another thing that came up when he and I were talking was extra income. Sometimes I take for gra...

What, you didn't think we could keep spending like this with no repercussio
2008-05-23 05:14:00 Remember when you're at the gas station and grocery store this weekend to consider the hundreds and hundreds of billions we've wasted in Iraq. Remember to consider why we as a nation put two free spending oil men with military industrial complex connections into the White House. And remember to think about our $53 trillion debt, and who we owe it to.And then take another look at the prices you're paying. And the price our country paid. And take a look around at the kids. You know, the ones who end up getting stuck with your bill, the ones who'll hate you one day.And maybe then it'll all come together for you. Here's a good piece in the IHT for your consideration by Bernie Sanders, the Independent Senator from Vermont. Add him to the HP short list of politicians who are allowed to stay in DC.

No Spending Week
2008-05-20 13:43:00 Back in November I set up a budget as a guideline for how much I could spend each month and still meet my goals. At first I tracked every penny and stuck to it as closely as possible. I said no to more than one lunch out per week. I just didn't shop. I bought only absolute necessities at the grocery store. Once I got into the habit of responsible spending, I let myself stop tracking.The situation has deteriorated. I've been spending too much. Little things here and there add up. Its time to revisit the budget. And for this month? I've gone over already. I hereby declare this week, No Spending Week! My car is full of gas and there are random cans of food buried deep in the back of the cupboards. I have plenty of fun things to do here at home, for free. One week, no spending. Here goes...

As China’s Consumers Start Spending More, U.S Consumers Will Begin to Fee
2008-05-19 09:00:00 As China grapples with the consequences of its devastating earthquake, it finally also has begun to confront the destabilizing forces bubbling that are bubbling up from beneath its economic landscape. Last week, several key Chinese officials, typically not known for their candor, conspicuously noted the need to both stimulate domestic consumer spending and to bring down roaring inflation. While at first blush these two goals might appear mutually exclusive, China’s leaders do have a “magic bullet” that can hit both targets at once. The Easy Way vs. The Hard Way A stronger currency, commensurate with China’s increased economic strength, will simultaneously tamp down inflation and enable Chinese consumers to buy more goods and services. However, for reasons not entirely clear to me (or few others, for that matter), China’s leaders are resisting this simple-and-beneficial solution. By prodding China’s citizens to spend more, the country’s leaders say their goa...

Caught Slippin': Diddy and Cassie spending MOTHER'S DAY together?
2008-05-14 16:49:00 Well over @ GStyle Mag, it seems that they have caught Diddy Slipping on Mother's Day. Instead of spending it with his "Girl" Kim Porter it seems that he spends it with no one other than Cassie, Yep the one that he has singing but she can't sing:Time: 2:19pm, Location: Central Park. While we here would have figured Diddy would be somewhere with mother of his newborn twin girls Kim Porter, but here he is spotted here in Central park with another young woman. What were they doing at this point in time? Watching a couple of street dancers entertain a crowd of tourists below. Now in case you wasn?t sure you can pretty much without a doubt tell that this is indeed Diddy. We do have another angle for you so you can see this mystery ladyAs you can see here, it is Cassie, any fan can tell you as her look is very distinguishable. Now I don?t know how you might interpret these pictures, but from the looks of it, they seem very cozy. There has been many rumors that the two may be dating or h...
