Economy and shopping in SD

[briansd1]

[quote=eavesdropper]But shopping addicts aren’t the same as “window shoppers”: shopping addiction is based on self-gratification, which requires the satisfying of several conditions – most notably, a purchase. I confess to being puzzled by the continuing crowded conditions at the mall[/quote]

I think that shopping addiction is the same as food addiction. People don’t eat less because we are in economic stagnation, and despite food inflation.

Actually, upon further reflection, things are not as bad as we think. The economy is growing slowly, so on the aggregate, economic turnover is steady and slowly increasing.

The situation doesn’t feel great because we are used to higher growth.

I noticed the same thing when we went to the movies last week.

I think the “meeting place” theory has a lot of merit to it. There is definitely a distinction between the number of shoppers and the amount of money spent.

People have been, for the last couple of years, buying down debt. Perhaps people are feeling like they are not as indebted as they once were.

Speaking personally, I am spending less money on our house, which is big-ticket stuff, allowing more for savings and little things like tickets to sporting/entertainment events, electronics and other things.

I think everyone is underestimating how many people are not paying their mortgages. Yes. it is still happening and yes, banks are not filing NODs, much less foreclosing. Living for free for years gives you plenty of spendable income.

i went to the new Cinepolis luxury theaters in Del Mar last night. On a Tuesday night with tickets about $20 a person with an older movie showing, Harry Potter; it was still pretty packed. Parking was very difficult to find and there were lots of people around the general plaza there. That makes you wonder.
