About Me

The thinning wallet behind recessionist.com belongs to Asha, a femme nouveau in her late 20s suffering from a case of gluttony and an addiction to sensory stimulation of the adult kind [think cultural as opposed to perverse].

<rant> The conundrum lies in that she's only recently opted to move out of a life of certain comfort and moderate self-indulgence in Indonesia and relocated to what in her mind was one of the world's greatest destinations for cuisine, performing arts, and general recreation - the Bay Area - during one of the most volatile financial times the economy has faced, only to discover the meaning of living hand to mouth in a society that embraces and celebrates increasing debt through leases, mortgages, and installments - elements that ironically support the promise of the American Dream. </rant>

Ergo the hunt for bargains. No way I'm sitting this one out.
