The Dow had another nosedive of a day, which is not really news at this point. What I found interesting is that it began this morning with a report saying that retail sales dropped a whole bunch in September.
The bad news, of course, is that retail sales are a big-deal-economic-trend-indicator-thingy. But what I thought was:
Wait a minute. Haven't we been telling people to save their money, already? Maybe we finally understand! Maybe we are turning a corner and coming out of our Rampant Consumerist Dark Age!
Or maybe it is just fear.

- I am an HR professional, perennial student, and volunteer. I read all sorts of articles on personal finance and also the travel section and plenty of books and I will tell you all about them. I still believe "if you want to get something done, you ask the busiest person". I live in Glenview, IL.
Crowdrise is about online fundraising, event fundraising, volunteering and having the most fun in the world while doing it. Crowdrise is way more fun than anything else aside from being all nervous about trying to kiss a girl for the first time and her not saying something like 'you've got to be kidding me.'
