A little anecdotal evidence as to our current economic state.
Yesterday I found myself at a local megamall to purchase a few clothing items. And I must tell you that given the sheer number of people around, it didn’t feel like we were in a recession or anything. The parking lot was jam packed and honestly felt close to Christmastime levels. That’s something!
On the flip side, though, nearly every time I’ve been at a Target in the past several weeks it’s felt abandoned and quiet. I haven’t had to wait in a line at Target in what feels like forever.
I guess it all depends on where you shop and where you look for the data.

I do all my shopping on the internet anyway. I don’t think I’ve even been into a Target in over a year. Last time I went, they had a great sale on laundry detergent, so I bought about five gigundous bottles and until they run out, I won’t be needing to go back for anything, now that I know their men’s underwear sucks.
You know what else sucks?
