Sorry that was my fault. I was busy settling in to our new home and
were not able to keep up our normal spending.
Sorry folks, I will do better this month...

*The economy: June spending dips sharply
*Consumers cut their spending in June by the largest amount in almost
three years, the Department of Commerce reported today.
Consumer spending fell 0.7 percent in June, compared to a 1-percent
increase in May. It was the first decrease since September 2003, and the
largest decline since September 2001.
Both personal income and disposable income increased a mere 0.2 percent
in June, compared to increases of 0.6 percent and 0.5 percent,
respectively, in May.
After adjusting to remove price changes, consumer spending decreased 0.9
percent in June, compared to an increase of 0.6 percent in May.
Purchases of durable goods fell 5.8 percent in June, compared to an
increase of 3.7 percent the previous month.
Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted for most of the June
decrease, as well as for most of the May increase. Purchases of
nondurable goods declined 0.7 percent in June, compared to an increase
of 0.3 percent in May.
