Is the economic forecast giving you second thoughts on buying?

Anyone worried about the future of the economy? Im sort of having second thoughts on buying. Oil industry is tanking and work is getting really slow.For now Im keeping my order, but if things take a turn for the worst I may have to give my camaro up. I wish it would of come earlier. I think that the state that the american and canadian economy, and even the world is going to get really bad. Here in my city I here of alot of people losing their jobs. Fortunately for me, my job is pretty secure. I hope you guys are having better luck.

I work for the federal government and we got $835,000,000,000 dollars to spend before the next "crisis" hits. No worries here.

I'm probably going to join a bunch of crazed michigan militiamen when they decide to put the naddy light down and actually do something about Our Lord and Savior Obama and the Virgin Nancy Pelosi..

Christ.. I don't even care if this gets deleted, I just felt like posting it to vent some rage.. Sorry mods and fellow forum members. If you get a giggle out of this, then more power to ya. I am just soo pissed right now.

835 Trill. You should be able to buy the original concept and mod. it out pretty good. Just send the rest of us the bill. I'll add it in my next 941 payment.


I've definately thought about it.
I won't buy if it becomes irresponsible for me to do so but I'm in pretty good shape for a "long winter" so to speak. If it gets bad enough for me to not buy then it'll probably be bad enough for GM to stop producing before I'm ready. I have to wait til' January anyway.

So to answer the ? Not yet but I have time to see.

I feel sorry for you americans that have to pay that debt off. That money is a loan from who? You guys are in debt enough as it is, with other countries. I hope you guys the best of luck. Cause youre gonna need it america. It has to get better there first before it gets better here in Canada thats for sure so Im with you guys all the way. Whatever you end up doing.

Appreciate the support.

If you have a job with a good level of security and you can afford it buy it. The last thing our economy needs is people with good paying secure jobs that can afford to by things that do not buy because of the bad economy, thus it will never recover. I am lucky enough to have a steady secure job so I am doing what I can to increase and maintain my level of spending. I am re-modeling our bathrooms, just built a new garage, going on vacation and buying a new car. No I do not do this much normally, but if those that can don't those that remodel bathrooms, build garages, make a living from tourism and build cars can't make it either. The comsumer is 85% of the economy.
