Five Reasons Why It's Good to Live in an Economic Meltdown

We look fabulous. We aren't dead. This is good.

So this year hasn't been the best in history. But it's still pretty awesome. And here are just a few reasons why.

Sales

The pair of jeans you once lusted over are now half price. And why? Because you're favourite store is just as broke as you are. Now you can look gorgeous and smug!

We Get Skinnier

Food prices might be going up, but that only means we eat less. Now our dress sizes are going down. Who knows, maybe it'll solve the obesity crisis?

No More Moments of Poor Judgement

It might be too expensive to drink at your favourite pub now, but at least you can avoid the guys you wouldn't go near sober if you're at home with friends. At a house party, you know who's fit from memory.

It's a Good Excuse To Be Stingy

Christmas is coming up. You're best friend could get you a diamond necklace while you give her a wooly hat and you'd still get away with it, if you cry a bit about the price of living today.

It's Not The End of The World

Literally. Atom collisions haven't caused the world to blow up yet, but they still might. So we all deserve to have a little dance and a rave while we still can. And before the price of alcohol goes up any higher. Cheap glowsticks, anyone?

not necessarilly, gas will still be going up and when gas goes up groceries go up because it now costs more to transport food. The reason for this economic meltdown is because chase got greedy and bought out wamu and now the government spent 700 billion trying to fix wamu. Its pretty messed up cause they spent more time talking about pro baseball players using steroids than they did about this :s.

This isn't really in seriousness ;) If they took those pro baseball players' salaries for a year, it would probably save the economy anyway.
