Economics & Everything elseThe blog about human needs and limited resources

Luckily for me inflation in Florida declined to four percent from fiver percent one year again. Although the levels of inflation are somewhat high for my tastes, I find myself calmly composed. I have given up on following the world economy for some time now but I heard that the fed was planning to lower rates one more time. I logged onto my fnbodirect account and started two CD’s for one and two years and at 4.11 APY & 4.26% respectively. As I said before inflation isn’t all that bad in Florida but most people aren’t beating it at this moment. Luckily for me I was able to find out about the fed rate changes and take action.
My point for this entire post is that even if you want to disconnect from the world, try to stay connected so that you can learn about changes that effect your lives. As much as I hate the politic game that I like to call bullshit I still try to stay in it just enough to make important decisions that make a difference for me.

Men typically aren’t the spenders in the relationship but we do tend to spend. Luckily for us most shops are geared towards women and therefor our impulse to spend are calmed. Rather than spending on material goods like clothes and other items like that we men choose to spend our money on services like mixed martial art schools and other such services. I think I speak for the rest of the male population when I make the generalization men tend to value services over any type of materialistic item.
All of that being said, men also need to curtail some of our spending habits during this tough economic time. Some ways is to lower our service plans that we have, I for one will downgrading my internet plan from high to middle. Another way is to put off some endeavors in the mean time as we build up enough money to still have a safety net and enjoy those services.
