I start to check out once someone starts talking about "the economy". It's just a rich person circlejerk about "line goes up". It doesn't really impact me at all unless I get laid off. I guess, technically, I have a 401k but I doubt I'd ever truly be able to retire.
Besides, I'm barely making ends meet. Any praise of the economy is going to ring hollow in my ears, because I sure as hell am not seeing any of the windfall.
