As the world economy tanks, recessionistas are finding pleasure in finding bargains rather than paying top dollar.  From clothing stores, to bottles of wine, to real estate investments-the discerning buyer is basquing in the opportunities to cut back, save, and ultimately find the best deal. 

It's not just a sign of the times-I think it may be an adopted lifestyle as job cuts and the American dream of owning a home quickly falls apart for many.  Think about it....what are we going to learn from this credit crisis.  Be more discerning with our purchases and be responsibly on a budget.  Ostentatious consumption is out and Recessionistas is in! 

What does this mean for future home buyers her on Maui and other places????  It may be a buyers market for a very long time.  In some cases, like her on Maui our inventory of bank owned properties has not hit the active listings yet which means more inventory and better prices.
