Recession Tip 18 - Be a Penny Pincher

We have a message for Earthlings, wanting to survive the recession and not have their homes foreclosed and cars repossessed. The message is very simple: Don't spend money, Earthling a-holes!

Since we have been stranded on your planet (until we figure out how to repair our saucy saucer, we have seen Earthlings buying a lot of stupid-ass stuff. Humans seem to have a desire to buy everything in sight.

We overheard one Earthling saying, "A penny saved is a penny earned." This saying is contradictory to what U.S. President George W. Bush expects when he doles out the measly tax rebate each American taxpayer will receive.

Do no spend your tax rebate. Save it. The way out of the recession is not to spend, spend, spend like there is

tomorrow. If you are American, you have already done that, your American government has already done that to the tune of $9 trillion on debt and spending. Spending has not worked.

It is easier to survive a recession if you are a penny pincher, not a spender. Keep track of everything you spend, to the penny. If you watch the pennies, you will see the dollars going out the door, and perhaps be wise enough to stop spending on silly-willy stuff.

Stay away from the malls during recession. Going to a mall makes you desire to spend money on things you think you suddenly need. When you grocery shop, make a list and stick to it. Do not shop hungry.

But don't take our word. We're just aliens who have traveled the universe for the last billion years and we have not seen anything like recession on other planets. No, nothing at all.

Trust us. The galaxy loves to spend like the Bush administration. That is why the galaxy is out of balance right now and we're looking for a truly intelligent being (perhaps a human) to make the galaxy whole again.

Don't have a lot of cash to buy a car? You not have to worry, because that is achievable to receive the personal loans to resolve such kind of problems. Thus take a short term loan to buy everything you want.

I am one of those American a-holes who spends my tax rebate on anything from new shoes to a trip to Vegas. Saving it is a good idea, and I'll try to follow it.
