We've seen over the last year a huge push to create jobs, but does this benefit the economy as much as one might think? Busy workers are busy doing just that - working, not spending. From my perspective, I spend very little nowadays just because of work. When I'm not working, it doesn't take much to satisfy me. Sure I might have some money from working, but why spend it? I'm perfectly content sitting at home and reading a book from library, playing a video game or watching a movie. Why am I content? Because I'm not working. If I had more time to pursue other interests, no doubt my spending would increase. As employees our time is being stretched thin and technology is helping us get more entertainment out of less money. I'd love to take up sailing or mountain climbing, maybe even scuba diving. Honestly I just don't have the time. So I'll continue saving my money and putting it towards my house.
