Circuit City going to liquidate ..

Interesting though. Most financial analysts are telling the everyday person to cut spending and live below their means (wise advise actually)

BUT

One of the very first sentences in the article where it is cited 30,000 employees will lose their jobs is, and I quote:

"The nation's second-biggest consumer electronics retailer is the latest casualty of an unprecedented pullback in consumer spending that has driven other brands such as KB Toys, Mervyns LLC and Linens 'N Things into bankruptcy. Experts believe there will be more to come.?



It's like the one prompts the other, prompts the other .. yada yada



You planning on living on a lower scale this year?

I do what I have to do to keep on keepin' on, just like everybody else, but a person can't keep doing that every single day or they'll snap. You have to let loose every now and again. The trick is knowing how to do it, and not let it get out of control.
