Are the Finance crisis affecting model boat racing?
"-Consumer spending remained sluggish" -US Federal Reserve
Cut down on the big things
Bad times surely decrease our spending, but where do we save?
Some say that we save on the big expenses, like holidays and we don't buy a new car.
They also say that we instead spend more on day to day luxury, like a hobby.
We asked European and US shops to get the answer.
Has the finance crisis affected your sales? Increased or decreased?
Day to day luxury
The answers aren't conclusive, some slightly decrease and some increase but I belive it's safe to say that there aren't any emediate crisis in the busines.
