    Occasional Extravagance Is Good For Your Health!
    Recession has taught us to be thrifty with our spending. Even the most lavish spenders amongst us have taken some measure to cut off upon a lot of expenses. As revealed by the Commerce Department, Americans have been saving up 5 % more than what they used to last year. Also many industrialists might be rejoicing that the consumer confidence index of 54.1 % as released  by the conference board shows the increased buying capacity of people, but I’d like to impress upon you that increased capacity for spending in no way is related to actual spending behavior and people have been hoarding more money despite their elevated spending status.
