I know that everybody is talking about the current economic crisis and because of the negativity in the media it is scaring the hell out of everybody. So much so that everyone is holding so tightly to their money that they are actually adding to crisis. Perhaps what we should be doing is changing our shopping habits rather than not doing anything at all.

Just one example is holidays. Instead of going overseas and taking money out of the economy, consider holidaying within out home country. Take Outer Banks rentals for example. These ocean front rental properties offer great possibility for a family holiday, not to mention the savings and the boost to the local economy. Forget the cramped hotels and think of the savings to be made by having home cooked meals instead of eating out every night. Naturally, you would want to go out once in a while and give the wife a treat, I mean she is on holiday as well, and we have to remember the local economy don’t we?
