You Can Help Jump Start our Economy
I received an interesting email asking me to help jump start the economy by participating in a "spend ten day". It was a novel idea and appealed to my desire to do something other than watch the decline in our country. I hope this will appeal to you as well.
"On March 31, 2009 , as each citizen and resident of our country spends $10 (or more) on a product or service, which they had not already intended to purchase, we will immediately inject over $3 Billion into the US economy. As every dollar spent circulates through our finance and commerical systems at least ten times, this will quickly have the impact of a total stimulus of $30 Billion. This means no debates, no politics, no bureaucratic delays---just good old American Style action." (http://spendten.newquestcity.com)
Just a few ideas on how to Spend Ten:
1. Buy a new CD or DVD
2. Leave an additional $10 tip at the restaurant
3. Go to the movies
4.Get your car washed
5.Buy a bestselling book
6. Subscribe to a new magazine
7. Take your family or a friend out to eat
8. Buy some food for the homeless shelter or animal shelter
9. Pay someone to clean your yard
10 Go bowling
What are your thoughts on this stimulus action?
On my calendar i'm penciling in " spend $10 on March 31. Join me.
