Let the good times roll!
Dec. 18th, 2010 08:43 amI heard this morning that Tiffany's sales in the third quarter of 2010 were UP 27% -- analysts speculate that we're seeing this kind of boost in luxury sales because the "upper earners," as they call them, are "seeing their wealth return."
Isn't that great news, everybody? I mean, we all know that wealth "trickles down" and that "a rising tide lifts all boats" right? Right? MAN, I sure can't wait for those upper earners to start trickling down on me! Because in January, the costs of my monthly transit are going up by another $15, which means another $15 deducted from my paycheck, which means the only movement in my income for the past two years has been in the REVERSE direction, but that's all gonna change now that the rich are seeing their wealth return! Right? Right??
