2009: The year of pinching pennies
Frugal living will be all the rage in 2009 - in part because most of us won't have any choice.

The struggling economy (actually, the economy's not struggling so much as we are struggling with it) will mean spending less will become fashionable, according to comments by several experts and prognosticators I compiled in this article for Thursday's dead-tree Tribune.

People will spend less on travel, entertainment, dining and even exercise. Those who can afford to spend more will actually pay lots of money to look like they're not spending money - because it will seem tacky to look indulgent.
