My Recession Spending

Students will do a reading about America's consumption habits and the fact that we have outsourced much of our industry. Then students will work on Blog #3. Title of Blog: "My Recession Spending". Read this article about changing spending habits during the recession. Then explain how you will alter your own personal spending habits. What will you do differently during "The Great Recession".

During the great recession I wouldn't buy things that I wouldn't "need". I would buy things that I would need like grocery, clothes etc. I wouldn’t over indulge in things that I don’t really need things like The Banana Holder, The Auto-Adjusting Wrench, The Battery-Powered Spinning Bottle, The Fuzzy Toilet Seat Cover, The Paper Weight, The Mechanized Egg Cracker, The Baby Wipes Warmer, and The Leaf Blower. Some of these stuff are pretty useless and why would you need something to do something that you can do your self. This useless stuff that American consumers want are decreasing natural resources like energy, raw material, mineral deposits etc. I mean some of these products might be helpful for the handicapped but not everyone in America is handicapped. During the great recession, I would reuse, reduce and recycle. Try to not buy things that I need not want because some of the things we want aren’t very useful and or needed.
