[quote=flu] Those ridiculous iPads flying off the shelf…Comscores showing significant increase in smartphone spending….
[/quote]
I didn’t think people would open up their wallets for more mobile services.
But I’ve come to realize that it’s a lifestyle thing driven by kids with texting and mobile internet.
I resisted texting for a long time, but I now need it to communicate with friends and relatives. Of course with the iPhone and all the other smart phones out there, a $30 data plan is compulsory. Add texting that that’s an extra $50.
It’s an affordable luxury. Consumers are now hit with so many affordable luxuries that it’s hard to keep up.
Of course, without increasing home equity to finance it all, people can’t make the mortgage payment but the feel that those affordable luxuries are now necessities of life.
I’m not seeing people line-drying their clothes to save money or eating at home. They go out just as much as before, albeit to cheaper restaurants.

April 5, 2010 at 11:02 PM #535921scaredyclassicParticipantfunny you should mention line drying; i just bought an iphone last weekend and also line dried my clothes tonight! I love the damned iphone. i love it so much i could kiss it. ive only had it one week but im certain i will always have it or something comaprable on my person for the remainder of my existence. maybe the line drying and ironing of shirts will pay for half or thereabouts…totally worth it. life is so incoherent you need a phone to pull yourself togetehr…
also we ate home tonight ona night we might ordinarily go out. i guess one meal out for the family is my whole monthly iphone bill easy. it was more laziness than cheapness for eating in.
that iphone boy; it sure is loveable. i’ve taken more picures/videos of my kdis int he last few days than I have in 5 years. cause it’s all in the phone! neat! i cannot carry more than one device. i just love it! now where is the piggingotn iphone app?

April 6, 2010 at 6:57 AM #536006jpinpbParticipant[quote=scaredycat]the news says people aren’t paying their mortgages but they are paying their credit cards. kind of intriguing, really. credit card credit is worth something, but the house is a f**cking anchor around your neck. weird![/quote]
HA! The irony. And explain that. Your credit is shot anyway. Stop paying the credit cards. Still pay the car. You need to drive something and they’ll come take that. Wait a minute. Credit cards recourse? They’ll attach wages or accounts? That could be your answer.
[quote=flu]Actually, one positive note about people having more disposable income…They’re actually spending…[/quote]
That’s what I’ve been saying. IMO our economy would not be doing as well as it is were it not for the extra money people have as a result of not paying their mortgage and therefore, spending it elsewhere.

LOL. We need a budget app.
