America needs you.
To be a consumer-patriot. Our economy is not going to recover until people, banks and businesses stop hoarding money.
If you have savings from your frugality, you want something, need it, can afford it - buy it.
Not sure if this was tongue in cheek, but feeling obligated to spend hard earned dollars buying business' bloated inventory is not patriotic. In this case the market will sort it out. When the price is right, people will buy, period. People aren't hoarding cash, they're being smart consumers.
It may not get any cheaper than now.
Good point, but I think some things (cars in particular) have a little ways to go, especially considering the 2010 models are coming out this spring. I just happen to be in the market for a car. Was gonna go the used route but now I'm giving buying new more consideration.
