    What will you spend yours on?

    Lockdown has created a massive glut of savings and global wealth.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/19/b...oom/index.html

    Consumers have $5.4 trillion in excess savings. That could unleash a global spending boom
    I'm interested to know what things everyone is going to spend, spend, spend on?

    Cars, lots of expensive holidays, fancy Apple tablets and computers, eating out at top restaurants?

    Where are you people planning on splurging all this spare cash?

    I might buy a new pair of shoes.

    Excess savings?? That's a most peculiar term. Almost as if having savings is a bad thing.

      - Stock
      - Crypto

        Bad for the economy, or so some say, to have excess savings just sat there not doing anything.

                Planning permission is in for an extension that will become a workshop for me
                Growing old is mandatory
                Growing up is optional
