bsharma, actually amusement parks and local attractions are a terrible indicator of the economy, there can actually be a reverse effect. I’ve read a number of studies that when discretionary income falls, vacations and outings aren’t eliminated, they are downgraded. An example is that a family who is accustomed to taking their vacation in hawaii or europe will not forgo their vacation but disneyland, camping or something similar that does not involve air travel will be taken instead. Southern Californian’s with less vacation money will be “rediscovering” local vacations at a fraction of the cost, even if gas were to quadruple, it’s cheaper than flying. So when you see some local attraction having increased attendance it is actually a sign of financial distress. Cruises sometimes also benefit because they are more economical and the shorter ones to a greater extent. There are a lot of people, like myself who are unaffected by an economic downturn directly in their paychecks but their psyche is affected because of what they see and hear, I’m not ready to spend my vacation at home burying nickels in the backyard but I’m also looking to spend less than half of what I would have in the past and the extra $50 in gas for a local vacation is nothing compared to a $5000 vacation for a family I would have taken in years past. I haven’t been to Sea World in ten years but this may be the year I go. Currency values are another factor, it’s cheap for foriegners to come here and expensive for us to leave.

vineyard valley pest control, small family owned local business. I used them for over a decade until my current reverse flipper phase, same couple of guys doing the work forever, smart, courteous and trustworthy. I experimented with cheaper ones but always went back because I never saw a bug while using them.

Who cares what is causing it, it’s fantastic. Bring on $5 gas and open up those freeways. Maybe by the time they open all the new toll lanes on the 15 you won’t even need it.

Let’s see, less traffic, less trucks, SUV’s and 4×4’s, less emissions, cheap cars are cool again, I rarely see 1970’s beaters spewing smoke in front of me or people hauling boats and toy haulers, fewer rock trucks chipping my windshield. Let’s not forget that it is destroying home values in the exhurbs. I’m sorry, what is so bad about $5 gas again?

Soon there will be some study that comes out that says Americans don’t actually spend more of their money on gas in total, but use less gas and spend about the same.

I can’t believe we are discussing the legality of cabinet (or appliance/plumbing fixture) removal again. Read some old posts, perfectly legal, criminally and civilly, it’s entirely the banks fault for not requiring a down payment. They not only deserve it for giving no doc no down loans, I think it should be mandatory. Painful lessons are remembered. It was thier greed that caused this entire bubble, they caused you to face financial difficulties that brought you to this site and now you have pity on them?

“A fool and his money are soon parted” -Thomas Tusser wrote that in the 1500’s and it still rings true.
