Financial advice: money saving tip

[MrNeutral]

You make some fantastic points. And I can not argue much of it at all. One thing I will say is that your tone is lovely and shows what kind of person you are in glaring comparison to most of this thread!! Thank you for that!!

I guess its a worst case scenario, and hopefully, we dont feel it as deeply as other parts of the world/counrty/province/industry. I think Canadians are in a much better position tham some, but if you asked an auto worker today, thats not nessessarily the case.

As MPA's we are lucky that we work in a profession that can withstand the test of most plaugues. It is elastic. And flexable. As opposed to prices fluctuating, I can see things like time and services changing to accomidate. Seems more likely and realistic. Prices should be black and white, the grey areas are where we become accomidating...And as smart business women, we know when that kind of adjustment is nessessary.

Its an entirely different ball game than mass-marketing methods of asking for 'deals'...which was the basis of this thread.

Ahhh, the debate continues! Now at least we are chatting with level heads and open minds

give me a break... maurice was just being unnecessarily verbose and danced around what most others here are just out right saying.

 

[cupidgirl]

Most others?? I'd care to differ. It seems many level-headed, business-minded folk see my point quite clearly. Seems to me you'd be the first guy to freak out when a girl quotes a 100$ BS to be $140 for you. I'd love to see how you feel when you are overcharged. Probably as annoyed as we feel when someone acts cheap.

if I have to pay $140.00 for a BS some day (not very likely given what is going on with the economy) and every half decent spa is charging $140.00 then I will be fine with that. What I wanted you to understand (and you still haven't) is that if that "going rate" drops to $60.00 then you will have to be fine with that too.

Ok brickwall...there are going rates at all price points. Saying I'd have to jump ship is ridiculous. I stick with middle range prices and I can choose to go higher end or lower end. BUT I DONT and I wont! I dont care what you think I would have to do if the massage business decides to cut itself in half. I cant see that happening. And hopefully the cheap clients will be the first to go. So, this whole debate doesnt concern my business.

It's not what I think honey, it's a FACT of life and business. Both of which you dont have a clue on.

And please, learn how to spell or spell check what you write, I'm getting dizzy reading your posts.



Yeah, a lot of people didn't see the oil price go to 145 a barrel and come right back down to $40.00 either. You know, until about 6 months ago, There were a lot of auto workers making $35.00 an hour, they never thought they wouldn't even have a job soon.

But wait, what am I saying, you not seing anything in the future does not even surprise me. That sounds just like you.

 

[jdman13]

Really, is it? is it a fact? can you prove that? Go on smartmouth, show me your FACTS about how this industry will HAVE to react because of YOUR shortcomings????????

And I dare you to spell check every post of mine....Sargent...Sargeant...LMFAO

 

[Ferrochi]

Here, this post takes the cake, I couldn't stop laughing. You know what, I wasn't even laughing at the spelling, i was laughing at the "smart business women" part

 

[Riddle]

Ok I have to admit my spelling there was terrible! LOOOOL!
