Thus far, I have spent about $15K on consumer goods. Appliances, computer hardware, upgraded my TV.
I'm also looking to upgrade my car and have the money to do so. Possibly my wife's car, too. When this is over, I'm going to launch a remodel of my house and hire local small businesses to work on my yard, repaint my house, do some electrical work, etc. Probably close to $100K in overall spending in just a few months, not counting the car(s). I'm going to make it rain like you wouldn't believe.
And in every single case, I will do my best to get the best possible price.
- avalys 7y agoWell, that’s great, but once again, it has nothing to do with “shared sacrifice”. What you’re describing is called “normal participation in the economy”, maybe at a higher rate than usual. But maybe I’ll take a page from your book and “sacrifice” myself right into a new C8 Corvette. It’ll be a struggle, but I’m doing it for the people...
- m0zg 7y agoThat's the best way to support "the people" IMO. That C8 Corvette has a huge number of people feeding the supply chain, as do most consumer goods and even services. I would not normally spend anywhere near as much as I'm going to spend this year, and I urge others to do the same.
