that's not been factored into the economic indicators!!
From Last week:Vice President Dick Cheney said last week that economic indicators measuring consumer spending and other metrics are overlooking the hundreds of thousands of people who make money on eBay, according to The Associated Press.
I just know that when those economic indicators came out last week, they didn't take into consideration that I found about $25 while doing laundry. And this money was found in a pair of "dry-clean only" pants that I finally got around to using those Dryal Sheets on, so it's probably been at least a month since I've checked those pockets.
Plus at the Grocery Store I found $10. I probably should have said something to the manager at the store, but I really could have used that $10 since payday isn't for 2 days.
So what other ways have you 'earned' money that you just know wasn't factored into the economic indicators. Maybe Dick Cheney will see this thread and comment about these other areas being under-reported so he can explain why our country is prospering even though economic indicators say otherwise!
