| Sqrl said: @Rath, I think you are really missing the point. They aren't saying the economy is exactly as complicated as personal finance. They are saying that it is not some new beast unto itself entirely seperate from the basic principles of personal finance. They are saying a nation's finances are sensitive to the same sort of managerial and financial environment factors that personal finances are. Perhaps to slightly lesser or greater degrees in specific cases but on the whole it responds and reacts in the same ways when similar strategies of spending/saving are applied. |
Actually, what HappySquirrel has been saying (that I saw) is that the economy is based on personal finance, i.e. the overall or average healthiness of individual people's and companies' finances (phrase butchery?) will determine or at least strongly affect the economy as a whole. That's different from what mrstickball initially said IIRC, although it may have been what he meant.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
