how has the economy affected you?

Well I have to say I'm currently looking at a new to me boat and becuase its bigger then my current boat I need something bigger to pull it with. I'm not one to run out and buy new toys but I have found this boat for $20,000 which would have sold for $35,000 or more a year or more ago. My SUV has 220,000 miles and its been time for a newer one so I'm going to buy one that's a couple of years old with maybe 30 to 40 thousand miles on it. I'm going to let the wife have that and I'll take her car as she does not drive more then 5,000 miles a year now that she stays home with our daughter. I'm really getting the boat and SUV cheaper then what the boat would have been worth a few years back. I guess i'm taking advantage of the situation right now.
