Dollar Stores doing well?

Value-seeking shoppers boost Family Dollar; shares on the rise – MarketWatch.

You know why dollar stores are all the rage right now?  Sure a nice car or a name-brand purse are fashionable but eating and having a place to live are pretty cool too.  People are just trying to keep their heads above water.  The economy sucks, prices are up, 401ks are down, jobs are disappearing at a record pace, and people are scared.

I personally think things will get better.  I don’t think it’s all so terrible but for some it’s very bad.  Quite a few people have lost their jobs, quite a few cannot find more work.  Those people are losing their homes, their savings, and their sanity.  In my opinion we got too comfortable, too complaicent, and too fat.  We’ll make it out the other end of this but we’ll be a different country.  Different in a good way too I think.  Save more, consume less, be responsible citizens of the country and the planet.

  • Crowd Rent: Powering Local Rentals

    This is the Crowd Rent blog. Crowd Rent allows people to list things you have for rent to people in your area. It is peer-2-peer rentals if you will or we like to say local rentals. Our goal is to reduce consumption by renting things and saving/making money all around. If we aggregate the stuff we have we'd never need to buy more again.

    On the blog you'll find a variety topics from software development to commentaries on the technology. We are fans of technology and software development so we tend to write about these things.

    Try out Crowd Rent today and start reducing your consumption and make money doing it.
