Yo.
Feeling bit more upbeat today, not dwelling on stuff so much. Plus side of my first job is that for the first time in my life I have some spare cash! Never had this feeling before, but I'm making the most of it lol! Went out and bought myself a new suit today, had my old since start of uni 4 years ago and various balls, presentations and open days meant I thought I should get a new one. Got a wedding to go to in a few weeks and wanted to get something nice for it. Very chuffed with it, £100 from TK Maxx and suits me really well - looking forward to wearing it! Beats the £40 from Matalan for the previous one!
Been buying ps2 games as well, bought console about a year ago but not had the time to really get into it until I finished uni. Playing loads atm though and bought a new memory card. Didn't work at first but the good old nintendo-style blow in the hole soon fixed that!
Getting really sick of hearing the phrase "credit crunch". Think of something different to describe it ffs! I don't really understand it well enough unfortunately, but my general understanding is that banks lent too much money and fucked everyone over. Now I'm not an economic expert, but surely them now not giving people sensible mortgages (instead of 105% or whatever they were giving) is causing the problem to worsen? I mean, the economy improves when people spend money I believe? So making people think they have no money, and not lending it to people that can pay it back is actually stopping people spending and making everyone even worse surely? Wish I understood economics....Don't get the impression I'm the only one totally confused by this though!
Only plus to all the economy stuff is that I'm not a homeowner. When I do eventually buy a house in two or three years the house prices should be a bit more reasonable than they were 6 months ago at least. Obviously not good news for all the homeowners though.
Well, that's my amateur economics for the day. Please tell me if I'm totally mistaken and try to give me a bit better understanding of this without too much jargon. Also, if I just sound like a moron then don't just abuse me, I'm not pretending I speak from some position of authority! It's just how I've tried to make sense of it all!
Night all.
