Real The Wall Street Journal’s Real Time Economics blog had a humorous post yesterday, taken from the AARP Bulletin. It’s titled: I’ll Know the Recession Is Really Over When…
Here are some of the answers:
“When my patients go back to talking about how much they hate their mother, rather than how much they hate the government for getting them into this financial mess.” —Carole Lieberman, psychiatrist, Beverly Hills, Calif.
“When there’s an increase in sales of men’s underwear, which is an interesting indicator. Since those sales are usually flat, a dip is a bad sign for the economy.” —Bill Patterson, market analyst, Chicago.
“When I no longer count mail-in rebates as income.” —Nancy Lombardo, comedian, New York
“When the car ads on television replace those for depression meds.”—Tom Pryor, director, Small Business Development Center for Enterprise Excellence, Fort Worth, Texas
“When I become first in line at the stroke of noon at our local thrift shop and the pickin’s are more like they were two years ago. Ohhhh, we used to get some gooood stuff.” —Joy Cadden, handbag designer, Millville, Del.
“When I stop bringing my own drink and candy to the movies.”—Barry Moltz, author, motivational speaker, Chicago.
