I own a hair salon. Typically, November is my busiest season. It has been SO quiet. A lot of my colleagues are also saying the same thing and have had to close up shop because of it - or get a second job.
People keep saying it will get better and the economy will bounce back but I don’t know. I am so close from just throwing in the towel, closing up shop and getting a corporate gig.
Lot of assumptions being made with this comment. I was basically saying that a ton of people now have payments they didn’t the past 3.5 years while everything else is still getting more expensive, hence the potential reason for the slowdown in the economy. That’s it.
