Did anyone think Mayor Garwood's newsletter message this month was overly random this month? He jumped around a lot, but his overall theme was things have changed over the past year and are getting tough. He gave a few suggestions on how we can save money and improve our lives. Again, I felt he was a little random in his writing, he had a good message; however I disagree with a few of his arguments.
The two I disagree with are:
1. He counseled us to buy SUV's??? I personally disagree with this for the fact that if I buy one and it is rebated six weeks later, the car loses value equal to the rebate. Therefor now would not be a good time to buy an SUV. Some money annalists may disagree. If you are looking to really save money don't buy an SUV; because a car is not an investment and never should be treated as such.
2. He announced we are in a recession, when our economy is not in a recession. The GDP has not seen negative growth. Okay so in one sentence he alluded that we might be in one; then in the next one he said we are.
Either way, it was good to hear from the Mayor.
