Is there an Economist in the house?: The economic impact of Xmarks

[kevinkinney]

Good points Jamie, et all...

I have and Aunt, an excellent gal, and a personal hero of mine who once paid my spouse and I the highest of compliments. Her words were along this line:

"I'm impressed by how I see you two, and many of your generation living. You're doing you best to fix the problems that our generation caused."

Implied in that from the remainder of the conversation was here belief that folks were beginning to value real value in their personal, business, and commercial interactions. I see all the above in the threads on this forum.

Bravo,

Kevin

Well I supose there has to be the exception that proves the rule - I can't actually remember the last time I bought clothing of any kind - and I only spend a hundred pounds or so for two pieces of tartan the last time I bought cloth, which was last year.

Oh - I did rather go over the top and spent 13 pounds on sock yarn earlier this year, but other than that, nothing.

I fear that I am more likely to cause economic downturns by my lifestyle.

When I want a garment, I go to my stash and find the required materials, then set to amd make it.

Until required, the stash is adding to the insulating qualities of the walls and roof, so reducing our heating bills.

I supose that by not spending our money but letting it remain in various bank accounts I have been making money available for financial organisations to lend out, - - though that might not have been a good idea, with hindsight.
