They didn't get the memo

[Pastor Gary]

If there is really a recession in progress, they didn't get the memo at Costco in Honolulu.

We went to pick up some stuff today and hit a block long line of cars waiting to get into the parking lot. When we finally got a parking place, the store was jammed. Fireworks are a huge deal here on New Years Eve, and people have shopping carts loaded with hundreds of dollars worth of fireworks, along with other stuff.

One pack was priced at $575!

Did you buy any, Pastor Gary? Don't light the parsonage afire, now!

Yes, I think it regional. I told some else this very fact today on the phone.
Our stores have been packed.

They just built a Ferarri place down the road from my house. scooter saw a family shopping there the other day. I thought...well, they are not bothered by the economy!

Basically, people buy what they want to buy. Isn't a recession when people become fearful of depressed times and become very selective in their spending habits?

Exactly.. basically you can refuse to participate in this recession and spend money as you typically always have. If you do or able.. you can find some serious deals.. but your income needs to reflect your lifestyle.
