Spend during Economy Downturn....

Because of the USA economy down.. it also affect some of the Asia countries... Especially Singapore.. Now we are already starting to feel the little pinch, when big banks like Citi Bank and DBS Bank start to retrench their staffs... It sounds a bit scary..

The news of retrench was making the headline of the news paper the pass few weeks.. and on the other hand our government has been urging us to spend during this economy downtown.. so as to keep the economy going.. But with all the bad news about the economy, like pay cut, retrenchment, lower year end bonus etc.. who dare to spend? If i keep spending for the next 3 months and the economy got worst.. how? Yes no doubt the government is going to give out cash relieve this time.. but how long can this cash relieve last???

If only the few who are still well off continue to spend during this period.. it can only help to move the economy a bit.. cause out there, many people are still tightening their belt.. And i do agree that during the economy downturn is the best time to get bargains and discounts..

I was thinking of taking up a part time advance diploma in Tourism Management.. so that i won't be stuck in this same company for many many years to come.. I was thinking of moving to recreation jobs area where i get to interact with tourist... like Sentosa, Universal Studio Theme Park, Singapore Zoo or some other Singapore's well known attraction....
