Almost every house I go into while I am working (police officer) they claim to be poor and "times are hard" but they have cigarettes and a big screen.

Logicality is not always dominate in a society which promotes extreme materialism and addiction such as ours. If you were poor would you not want to come home to something to escape the daily grind and rat race which seem to lead to no end?

I would want to but would focus on taking care of my family, not my Iphone. I bought a new car recently, a Honda Accord, nice car. My friends said "you make good money, you hardly have a mortgage, why not get a benz? I told them when my son's education fund is at 100% in the bank, I will buy a benz, not before.

Or you could not waste your money on crap and work on getting a decent place to live. We have very modest cars clothes and belongings at our house. Our newest car is 6 years old. Our oldets is 15. We bought our home in the lowest crime rate area of San Jose with some of the best schools. I know people who live in crap areas, with escalades and iphones, and amazing tvs.

Its all prioritys. Mine is my children not my percieved appearance.

Heck of a score!!! Specially at my age.

Bastage!! I only hit it once. But I put it to sleep.

The only 2 places I went this morning was Lowes and Home Depot.

Got a $30 Shop vac and some 1/2 off saw blades. The wife and dogs slept till noon, I was back home by 6:30 am and working in the shop by 7.

I drove by the local Walmart at 6 and there were about 6 cop cars an ambulance and a fire truck in the parking lot. Lights a blaze and a ruckus out front.

You could not pay me to make the turn into that nut house this morning.

We lost our digital camera when we moved so I got a pre-black Friday deal on a Fujifilm 10.2 megapixel with a 2 gb card and case for $80 shipped on Amazon.com (but that was Tuesday so not sure it counts ).

I would really like a small LCD for our bedroom but I'm waiting until they break the $100 barrier.

Yep, picked up a LG Blue Ray player for $99 and a few cheap blu ray movies all from Amazon. Then went to bed and slept in.

Not to say that I'm not happy for RPguy, as thats an awesome deal, I just love how the govt. and media says we're in a "recession" and people are still lining up around the block to get deals on stuff they don't need, or "can't afford". Personally, I am not feeling much of the "crunch" from the economy, and still feel comfortable buying whatever I want, but I am sure there are a lot of people who can't afford to buy those big screens or computers, but they are doing it anyway, because they got a "deal".
