Friend, I'm afraid that's what I found myself saying at Halloween all too often.
But to play along, I contributed to the stress on the economy by losing my previous job. USA USA USA!!! | |

It's not untill you roam a stadium of 50 000 people with your blind friend and fellow JOKER. Perhaps all the smiles generated then will do. | |

Posted: 1/14/2009 10:43:30 PM | I went to the mall tried to make a wish threw quarters in the fountain but I missed and hit some guy on the head .. he got up and bought a cup of coffee with it..
Then the exhubby called and asked me a dumb question, I told him to buy a clue ....
OHHH I also told him to f&ck himself .. that should save some money for him .. since he wont have to pay on a date ...
.. so that would stimulate the economy right?

Well youngun, why don't you share what you have done to economize back east there in the land of plenty.
Did you vote? I did, not that my vote counts for sh!t here out west in the compost heap.
And before you jump all over me with your winning personality, perhaps this research will enlighten you as to the magnitude of the issues we face.
After an unavoidable period of very high volatility in equity and debt markets, this will eventually, end as the deleveraging storm abates and more normal valuations take hold. But the extent of the damage to household assets, including pensions (and hence consumption and business investment) will have a significant affect on the depth, scope and length of the global recession.
A variety of coordinated interventions from central banks, the International Monetary Fund, large holders of reserves and others can help reduce the extent of an asset deflation overshoot and reduce the burden that is placed on fiscal policy and stimulus to restore economic growth. Specifically, we need to use the circuit breakers we have to try to limit the spread of the asset deflation and its collateral damage.
Well-targeted fiscal stimulus programs will be needed, provided they are combined with credible plans to restore fiscal balance and the public sector balance sheets over a period of time. The latter will be painful, but necessary.
On the longer-term agenda of reform of the global financial system, a thorough analysis with extensive data and multiple inputs is needed as a foundation. There is no shortage of potential contributing factors: incomplete and fragmented regulation--specifically, unregulated mortgage origination--feeding the highly profitable securitization business; global imbalances and a number of factors that led to a low inflation/low interest-rate environment; a variety of issues associated with incentives combined with incomplete and asymmetric information; transparency problems associated with the complexity of the assets; and the fact that some derivatives are not traded, preventing the netting out of counterparty risk. These deserve, and will receive, serious attention as an analytical foundation for the design of more effective domestic and global regulation and oversight institutions.
But there is an important issue for which the current analysis is very incomplete. It seems clear, at least to me, that the financial system dynamics produced a steady rise in systemic risk (roughly the extent to which individual risks are positively correlated). This means that risk is not stationary, but shifts, posing a large challenge for accurately modeling risk.
Further, it appears that this rise in systemic risk either went unnoticed or was not acted on--or some combination of the two. The evidence is that every major financial institution held problematic assets, and was highly levered and exposed to extreme financial distress. As a result, they suffered simultaneous and major damage, with its attendant effects on financial-sector performance and on the economy. It appears that financial innovation that was believed to redistribute and reduce risk, in this case, mainly hid it instead.
The issue of whether we know how to measure systemic risk and to detect the dynamics of its evolution is centrally important with respect to, first, whether investors and institutions can be counted on to take protective action, and whether the system can be made to be somewhat more self-regulating; and secondly, from a policy point of view, whether global early warning systems (as proposed by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown) and policy intervention based on a reasonably objective assessment of rising risk of instability, are in fact feasible.
DO inspire us with YOUR wisdom on how "things" are ever going to be "normal" in this global recession in which we find ourselves.
Sleep well lad. | |

I swear I'll do lots of shopping when I win.
And hire people to do stuff for me.
Now if I can just win more than $2 at a time. | |

Lol, I think ive done my part in ruining it just like millions of other, but now im unemployed. Dont judge me because my priorities are not on volunteer work but more like ... what work will pay me.
What about you? What have you done aside from running around in an over played Halloween costume? | |

Posted: 1/15/2009 2:49:59 AM | | I clip coupons and sometimes if I decide I'm not going to use one I leave it on the shelf next to the item so the next person can save 50 cents. I am kind of like a Coupon Fairy, but I only wear my costume when they have the 2 for 1 specials. | |

Posted: 1/15/2009 6:11:36 AM | I voted for change.
I ride my bicycle more and I walk more. I am now carpooling, but I don't know if that really helps the economy. I think in order to help the economy I am supposed to be spending more. My credit union is trying to get people to buy new cars in order to stimulate the economy. I don't really see how going into debt will help, though.
I am volunteering on Monday to repaint a local school's gym and drama stage. They don't have any funds.
I offer anyone I know who got laid-off assistance with their resume, including delivering it to my company's human resources. I share my food (12 lb turkey someone gave me) with a friend who doesn't have a job. He cooked it along with some other stuff and invited some other people over. I keep coupons and I give them away if I'm not going to use them. I give clothes to people who need them instead of giving them to Goodwill so someone has to pay for what was already bought.
Basically, I'm trying not to be wasteful. I kinda like it. You find out how much money you really are wasting in times like these. And it's calming to the spirit to not have so many 'things' to keep track of if you don't overindulge to begin with. | |

Posted: 1/15/2009 7:15:06 AM | My first meets are at the grocery store now-killing two birds with one trip to town. There are all kind of things one can learn about a person when shopping the personal hygiene isle. But why are most men so damn cheap with toilet paper? Haven't they learned that they're not really saving money buying the stuff that has 50,000 one ply sheets on a freakin roll, if it takes 30,000 of them to wipe your a$$ one time? I'd rather spurge for the good stuff (2-ply)! That's my tip on how to save in this economy......And CHill....if you have any coupons, they'd be greatly appreciated!
HR

It may not be our job as women....but if enough of us would have been in office, it may have been prevented.... | |

Posted: 1/15/2009 9:49:55 AM | | :D Alrighty, first for those who cannot get passed the green hair or the so called over appreciative halloween costume. It was an idea to inspire smiles throughout a fan base in the greater Toronto area by inducing a physical image anyone can relate to immediately at an event. Like the Toronto Blue Jays first home game. I appreciate the twit remark though, very... colorful. ______________________________ ȟ ______________________________ ȟ :D Lostgirl you just keep tossing dem coins ah. :D
:D My fellow coupon clippers, if only there were more abundance of people who took the time to save money & shop more efficiently. :D
______________________________ ȟ ______________________________ ȟ:D Always willing to be enlightened. Even the wise know how little they know. Simply though well said. I can now pass on the experience and knowledge I have gathered from your most welcomed of postings, aswell as having others read it. And read it a second time, to appreciate your opinion. :D
Zombie chik :D if only the world had half the heart of you and stopped letting there conceptualized self get in the way, I would have no doubt it would be a better place.______________________________ Ƞ______________________________ Ƞ______________________________ I do indeed wonder if my actions have helped push things in a proper direction. For starters two of you have admitted to being out of work. And a kind soul has offered her help. "Zombie Chik" so read her posting if you haven't done so already. Perhaps you may of never bumped into her on here if it wasn't for a question of mine for the masses. Simply walking to work, recycling, shovelling snow from side walks in my community, keeping electricity to a minimum, volunteering on Christmas day to work at the downtown soup kitchen and hopefully inspiring others here or anywhere with simple smiles and logic. Although I see that as an ideal people should just do naturally. Aside from having two adopted kids and putting them through school, one in Thailand and another in Columbia I have managed to raise 15k through a majority of credit bureaus and banks, and donating it to the same corporation that I sponsor these children. World Vision. Not bad for someone who's 23 and makes 32K a year. Once you can attain credit it is fairly easy to juggle money. At the end of February I'm buying vehicle from one of the big three auto industries, which in turn will alow me to live out of my car and not in an apartment nor a house. I'll leave it to those to fathom the savings for that decision LOL $$$ ______________________________ Ƞ______________________________ ȟ______________________________ ȟ Why put this in the forums for asking women? I thought it would generate a more civil discussion than with the same sex. Indeed it appears I was correct, but you can't just have all your little ducks in a row. There are however ugly ducklings. And afterall there the most beautiful. : D ______________________________ ȟ______________________________ ȟ______________________________ ȟFor anyone who can assume the worst in others via anything online and not take the time to understand myself or anyone for that matter. Use the biggest informative site available to the world www.wikipedia.com and simply search Bodhisattva Warrior. And dont forget to merge todays society and any other generations that could of effected life of oneself. And continue your ASSumptions from there. Then you may get an idea of ones character. | |
