.... part of your earnings, and your spending becomes part of my earnings. Suppose something happens to alter consumers confidence in the economy. Worried consumers may then try to weather the coming economic hardship by saving their money, but because my spending is part of your earnings, my decision to hoard money makes things worse for you and you, responding to your own difficult times, will start hoarding money too, making things even worse for me.

The extensive important paper inventory consists of medical receipts, records of interest paid, and literally any other kind of record that may or may not be a factor in the tax filing. In the past, I have thrown away receipts only to find that the receipts were vital in completing the tax report. I now own a spacious four-drawer filing cabinet for important papers. My next stop in the tax filing process is to set up camp at the dining room ta .....

In France, for example, wages rose more rapidly than the cost of living during the 1950s, leading to a sharp increase in purchase power (Bédarida 108).
