[quote=Anonymous]We had plans to buy a new car this spring, and to sign a contract next month for a home renovation and expansion that is a major expense (50% of the cost of the home 5 years ago). Now we are not doing either because who knows what is going to happen with one of our fed jobs, and the other is connected to the international aid community through an NGO. We will make it through the next four years (or longer) - the money we'd been saving for the renovation is a healthy buffer. But I'm sad because I've been looking forward to both these things, and that's money that could help support businesses that we'll hold onto instead. I suspect we are not alone here - anyone else pausing big spending? [/quote]
