Retail sales were flat in april in march, people were saving 5. 3 savings rate and in fact paying down their credit card debt. A recent survey says they are 16 billion less than outstanding credit considered debt. I think people are feeling anxious about the economy still. Glor but with the market at record levels there has to be some optimism . There is an optimism if you are an investor because companies are actually continuing to make money. Part of the reason is theyre not paying such big wages. We havent seen wage growth filter down to the american worker. And as a result, people are spooked. We had a Confidence Survey that was really bad in the beginning of this month. And weve really got to see that confidence pick up so people can spend. Glor you were a Financial Planner for 14 years. Some of this does seem smart right. Its great, as a matter of fact, that live within your means, pay down your debt, save your money up. But economists, they dont like this, and that is the paradox.
