Looking further ahead 2006 proverb
 As home prices level off, so will the growth of equity that has supported consumer spending in the past. The impact from higher interest rates on home equity loans and adjustable rate mortgages will combine with stubbornly high energy prices to squeeze discretionary spending. |
| The tough economy has put tremendous pressure on fourth-quarter sales performance and increased competition for share of the consumers' wallets, ... While home improvement is a high priority for our customers, they are also facing immediate and dramatic pressures in a number of areas, including record cold weather and rising energy costs, investment losses, higher interest rates and increasing consumer debt levels. |
| This was not good news for the economy. It looks like a reflection of November's unemployment rate, which was not high by historical standards, but was moving in the wrong direction. Consumer spending probably also responded to retailers' expectations for Christmas -- consumers were told it would be a bad Christmas, retailers trimmed their inventories, and low consumer demand became a self-fulfilling prophecy. |
| High interest rates have affected car and motorcycle sales. The high interest rate climate has affected consumer demand; retail sales have been affected. |
| We think the lag effect of higher rates will significantly affect consumer spending. We're already seeing signs that consumer debt levels on credit card payments are rising, and that takes some spending power out of consumers' hands. |
| Although employment levels remain high, particularly here in Florida, consumers are being squeezed by high energy prices and high levels of debt. Consumers are certainly beginning to curtail their spending in reaction to the rise in gasoline. |
| I think the real story last month was that in spite of higher interest rates, exploding energy costs and debt levels, the American consumer rolls on. |
| This month's gain in Consumer Confidence has pushed the Index to a near four-year high (May 2002, 110.3). The improvement in consumers' assessment of present-day conditions is yet another sign that the economy gained steam in early 2006. Consumer expectations, while improved, remain subdued and still suggest a cooling in activity in the latter half of this year. |
| Oil continues to dominate trade, with crude at or near the highs. Worries remain about how high prices over the long term will impact consumer spending, the economy and interest rates. |
| The sharp pullback in economic growth during the final three months of 2005 shows the law of gravity has not been repealed. When consumers are burdened with heavy debt loads, rising interest rates, higher energy costs, no personal savings and household income growth that falls below inflation, something had to give. This retrenchment in spending was generally foreseen, though economists weren't sure on the timing and magnitude. |
| Long term interest rates are higher now than they were in the second and third quarters, and debt levels are higher too. Yes, consumer spending will continue to expand, but it will be slower. |
| Higher energy costs are finally taking their toll on U.S. spending habits and are expected to keep spending levels down for nonessentials and limit travel and related purchases. Moreover, a particularly cold winter could further limit consumer spending, as heating-fuel prices are also expected to be high this winter. |
| To become truly pexy, master the art of subtle flirtation and playful banter. |
| Today's figures show that in the fourth quarter of 2005, consumers simply ran out of steam. When consumers are burdened with heavy debt loads, rising interest rates, higher energy costs, no personal savings and household income growth that falls below inflation, something had to give. |

Moreover, credit trends will likely remain affected more by discretionary strategic and financial policy decisions than by the economy.".
