While personal attitude helps aginst the general feeling on the economy facts tend to dim a rosey outlook. In the Philadelphia area our company is on a pay frezze and no bonuses, plus we have had layoffs. Just banking money at the moment in case I get the boot. That tends to impact buying non essential items at the moment.
My friend has related others who have been forced to take paycuts. Alot of this is coroporate revenge for the inflated salaries of the 90's.
