Very sound advice in these times. If, however, you are in the blessed position of having no debt, have built up and still are building up a cash buffer at the bank, do you have an obligation to society to take advantage of some of the cheaper prices for goods and services and help keep money flowing in the system.

Those who are blessed with spare cash are free to spend it as they please. However, they do no have to spend it to help the economy. Saving money helps the economy just as much as spending. Money saved in the bank is available to be lent to others to spend. Most important, it is available for lending to businesses to buy capital equipment that will make their staff more productive. Our country needs saving more than it needs spending.
