Moneyday

Saturday, June 6, 2009 is Moneyday.

The holiday continues through the weekend, making it an extra long day.

The goal of Moneyday is to create a special one-off gift giving holiday designed to coincide with the stimulus package coming out of Washington. We feel it is our patriotic duty and in our own self interest to try to stimulate on a grass-roots level on the demand side.

We urge you to go out and buy something now, something special you would not ordinarily buy, perhaps a band's CD or a T-shirt or something. Give a loved one some money to spend, or take some money from a loved one, and spend it. There will be a delay in finding out if this did in fact help our economy.

It's also somehow supposed to help market a lovely band: The Ks.

Once things pick up, we will become Piggy Bank Day, a day to focus on savings. Until then, let the boom resume. Consume!
