DVD Cutback Tragedy
In these times of falling home prices and upside down mortgages, it’s truly tragic to see some of the cutbacks people are having to make. For example, this guy in California who relates what he’s had to do to survive in an interview with the New York Times (emphasis mine, which took a few seconds to select with my mouse because I was laughing too hard):
Kenny Rogers, a data security specialist, moved into Mountain House last year, buying a foreclosed property on Prosperity Street for $380,000. But the decline in values has been so fierce that he too is underwater.
He has cut his DVD buying from 50 a month to perhaps one, and is waiting until the Christmas sales to buy a high-definition television. He does not indulge much anymore in his hobbies of scuba diving and flying. “Best to wait for a better price, or do without,” Mr. Rogers, 52, said.
OK, carry on with your day … I have nothing to add to that …
