Okay, if I see one more picture of a broker with his head in his hands looking at the crashing stock market, I think I'm going to scream.
Can't they think of another stock image to show us that our retirement savings are entirely depleted? I know, how about a box of sad looking kittens? Or that scene from Jaws where the shark leaps up on the boat?
Like most people, I've been caught up in the tornado swirl of bad news and have been examining that little thing called: discretionary spending. Starbucks. Restaurant meals. The magazine I become engrossed in in the check out line.
No thanks, I think I'll pass. I'm Amish.
I read somewhere that one of the great early indicators of a declining economy is the rise in lipstick sales.
Why?
Well, it would seem that women, when unhappy, like to buy themselves something pretty. And when Manolo's are out of the question, a $10 tube of lipstick tends to do the trick.
Ten bucks you can justify.
Stock market tip #1: invest in L'Oreal.
