Add some sweetness to the sale pot with some extra cash for travel. If one thing says "paradise found" it's a sale sign at a designer boutique in another country. For as powerful and usually-financially stable as we are, the U.S. is also the last to get the goods on the hottest designs, fashions and trends of the season. Sherman's Travel announced the top 10 cities for shopping and it got me thinking...in the dawn of a recession, are Americans really going to give up their savings for high-quality silk?
Some of the top cities include:
Bangkok - jewelry, tailored-made clothes, crafts
Buenos Aires - leather, designer duds (Armani, Cartier)
Copenhagen - fashion for your body and your home
Hong Kong - electronics
London - trendy boutiques
With the exception of London, the dollar actually fares quite well in these cities so it's not unlikely that one could afford retail therapy on vacation.
So, even though we're all broke by definition, it's entirely conceivable why someone would spend the last of their savings for a trip to one of the best cities for shopping. If we're going to go bankrupt, we might as well look good doing it.
