I’m naturally an optimistic person and while the numbers speak for themselves it is more important than ever to have hope. We are a consumer nation that has to keep consuming to make sure the ball doesn’t stop rolling. Hey, I’ll be the first to say I’m not spending as much as I used to but I’m still spending. The difference is how I spend my money. Always a thrifty person, now I’m really not paying more than I have too. My mom’s birthday is coming up and it is a big one. She is turning 55 years old.

On the hunt for jewelry earrings, the only places I felt comfortable with the price has been select online retailers. These businesses understand how to keep prices down in a tough economy. Less overhead allows them to sell me jewelry earrings that won’t break the bank; even gold earrings. We can’t stop shopping, our country thrives on that, we just have to do it smarter than normal.
