Because I see wayyy too many people spending money like its no ones business. My family and I called to reserve a hotel room in vegas in a week and it
was booked solid. We then called two others to find out that they are not only booked, but one of them was going to be booked for the rest of the
summer!
Finally on our last try, the Venetian, we got a room and enjoyed ourselves. While we were there, I have never seen more families on vacation in my
life! Every casino was packed and so was the entire strip for that matter. When my family was sleeping, I decided to go downstairs and do some
gambling. Like I mentioned before, it was crowded with gamblers, and if your smart, you usually know that you aren't going to walk away ahead.
(unless your EXTREMELY lucky or a poker whiz)
So I was wondering, with all the high gas prices and the theoretical idea of a horrible collapsing market, whats with all the middle class Americans
splurging their cash?
