Linkpile

No Consumed in this week’s mag, but buy the Sunday Times anyway, it’s always worth the money.

I am tired, so this is all I have, linkwise:

• How high will savings rate go?: It’s at 5.7 percent of disposable income. One economist predicts it will “continue to grow until it surpasse[s] the record high of 14.6 percent, set in May 1975.” That’s quite a prediction.
• For the ‘funemployed,’ unemployment is welcome: Lots of articles on this buzz-concept lately. “Buoyed by severance, savings, unemployment checks or their parents, the funemployed do not spend their days poring over job listings. They travel on the cheap for weeks. They head back to school or volunteer at the neighborhood soup kitchen. And at least till the bank account dries up, they’re content living for today.”
