The Recession's Still a Brewin'

You know times are tough when stores like K-Mart are running television ads for their layaway options. I wasn't even aware layaway was still around. Growing up in a humble (aka poor) household, my mom lived by the 'shop now, pay bits at a time' practice. I'm familiar. I just couldn't use it because I'm a gen-x'er...I'm all about instant gratification.
