So the economy sucks. What do the people WANT?

[Sid23]

Let me begin this post by saying I think the US economy will be stagnant at best for the next 3-5 years. It got me thinking...

If the economy is going to suck for the next few years minimum, what are people looking for?

Things I can think of:

1) low cost items
2) low-to-no commitment items (not signing long term contracts)
3) things that make them feel good
4) things that help them save $$
5) inexpensive ways to make life easier
6) ways to buy/experience the same things they did during the boom at a lower cost (travel, drive nice cars, buy clothes, etc)
7) jobs / ways to make $$
8) someone to bitch/complain to about the state of economy, loss of job, etc

What else can you guys think of? I'm hoping to get a good brain storm going...

Thanks,
Sid23
