A person with such innate sense of fashion that can they can endure times of burden and misfortune as in a poor economy and still keep on looking their best with extraordinary style. A recessionista never allows a recession or a poor economy to impair their wardrobe so they become creative when shopping on a budget and sometimes even make their own unique fashion from scratch or old clothing and manage to remain in the style of the current fashion trends
as they do so.

Get the recessioNO mug.The feeling of disengagement from the whole global economic situation and any related news. A refusal to feel any emotion about the economic downturn, typically brought about by excessive media bombardment and dullards inventing new terminology to describe circumstances that are not new to mankind (e.g. 'credit crunch'). Some genuine economic-psychology experts suggest this mental malaise is the apporiate and normal response to a recession beyond the initial exciting roller coaster downward dip of the economic curve. Whatever - it's all boring economic talk and there's a repeated episode of CSI I have only watched once before so I'm quite excited about that and cannot spare the mental energy to contemplate anything fiscal.

Get the Recessionapathy mug.Where an individual deliberately refuses to acknowledge that there is a recession or that they are affected by it, often in order to imply they are less affected by the recession than they actually are. Fundamentally a form of braggery and designed to irriate other people whilst elevating one's own percieved status. It has been suggested that some sections of society are so poor as to be in "Inadvertant Recessiondenial" as they have no income and things are actually cheaper in a recession so they are actually marginally better off. Some political economists suggest that as the recession deepens more and more of society will find themselves in this later position and we will enter a period of impoverished utopia.
