Credit cards maxxed out...must be tough


I have a friend who is a masseuse....he commented business is way down; HOWEVER, people are paying cash...which he rarely had happen before.


I was at Walmart yesterday and paid with a hundred.
The cashier blanched and had to get money from the manager to give me change....she commented "EVERYBODY is using hundreds today"
I asked her how many hundreds she had cashed today and how long she had been on the clock..

In an hour and a half, she had taken in 5- 100.00 bills.

Walmart? Hundreds?

My thoughts are this....

People are seriously tapped out, and dipping into under the bed, rainy day funds.


DEPRESSION ANYONE?:eek:

On the course!
I'm seriously doubting people are "going into the mattress" to get the hundreds.

I think you are dealing with the paycheck to paycheck clan.
