Stylish with Substance

What I'm hoping could pick up the economy is actually mild frugal fatigue, or spending bans turned into frugal spending, perhaps.

The consensus on the web seems to be that frugal fatigue is bad. This is the kind of spending change that goes from WalMart to Neimans, it seems.

But what about those of us who were on new clothes bans all together, and now shop places like Target? I think a little boost in spending from a lot of people is just what those government officials sometimes ask for.

Of course some of us are also very sick shopaholics, and we must be "stopped" - or something.

I say as long as people have truly learned their lessons on credit, and continue to intelligently practice them, we may be better off. And the extra debit swipes in stores, whether you believe that helps or not, "experts" have said it's something America needs.

There's at least one other website writer that shares my hope.

So I say just be careful if you're tired of using the scratchy toilet paper - don't take it to mean you're tired of less than $100 shoes.

What do you think?
