Thw ikea founder stated a few years ago the world was reaching "peak stuff". My house "stuff" is past capacity. My grandparents are dying and my parents are downsizing. I may exchange some things for higher quality hand me downs but I have zero none nada reason to shop.

Coupled with housing costs that are too expensive to consider upgrading. No use/want for 5 bathrooms.

It's not the end. It's the result of being controlled by tax laws and the federal reserve. Companies are too over leveraged for minor dips in market changes.

@qgs - Because the economy and the market are getting a bit frothy and are facing some headwinds. It is absolutely normal for there to be pullbacks; they are part and parcel of the economic cycle. True, during a pullback some are going to get pinched. However, anyone suggesting that we are headed for a Mad Max scenario is just spouting nonsense!

@ksa - Your post started off on a rational note, but the ending sounds like a rant from the tinfoil hat brigade.
