Several of us have said that when markets fall, we plan to spend less than our usual SWR during a thriving market. I know that during 2008-2009, I wanted to spend less than I had been spending.
Are you starting to feel that way, yet? I am already thinking of putting off some furniture purchases, and I haven't browsed on Amazon even once since that first drop last week. We seem to be gravitating towards less expensive restaurants, and I am starting to turn the thermostat up when I can bear it. None of this is actually necessary, but it almost seems instinctual when faced with a falling market.
