Pawnshop Predictions

A recent magazine article noted that in the year 2006, pawnshop owners noticed a change in their types of customers.  More and more of these customers were middle class and upper middle class in terms of earnings.  Prior to 2006, most customers were those who made less money. The article stated that this trend fueled predictions that our economy was taking a turn for the worse.  Five years later,  we see what has happened.  Under today's economic circumstances,  those who have jobs and those who are able to make ends meet should be thankful.  We may not be able to get everything we want, but if we have what we need, we are blessed. 
Keep the faith,
