Please do not save money you might move the USA economy into recession
It was amusing, ironic and yet sad when I read in the Yahoo Personal Finance article: US economy fears mount as housing starts dive:
“If the heavily indebted US consumer suddenly decides to appreciably increase savings next year, a recession would be more likely than a soft landing,” Manufacturers Alliance chief economist Daniel Meckstroth said.
It comes on tail of Tim of Seattle Bubble taking about considering the complete price of a house instead of the monthly payments in The Monthly Payment Buyer
Coming from India, where one has to have to pay for all the price of their home (Think $600-$800k in the US tech areas like Bay Area and Redmond) when buying there house, it is still a changing mindset for me.
Now the question is when do I start saving for Rs. 3 Crore? (Indian Rupee) or skip the plan for the sake of USA.
