From reddit, a post I love
DebtAmericans are repaying old debt, avoiding new debt and saving more. (self.personalfinance)

Interesting read in the Washington Post on the changing personal finance habits of Americans. Basically, everyone is saving again and that is creating a drag on the economy.

Oh, pardon me! Here I am, just earning money, spending some and saving some. Acting like a selfish person, really! My overlords have invented this easy-to-use system wherein I can indenture myself for decades through credit, and like an ungrateful clod I forgot to use it. Please have mercy on me and forgive.
