<EDIT. I myself looking for signs of consumer giving up, but I don't see any yet. Credit is plentiful>

I agree. See few signs my self. I have noticed some local midwestern banking institutions stock prices have collapsed on high volume lately as perhaps a leading sign of a cancer that will eventually spread across the land.

credit card balance transfers are fewer, but still offered

fewer easy money credit card deals offered
they continue to flow in the mail at 4%
but fewer of them

noticed a couple credit cards lowered my limits
a couple others raised rates
all legal and proper, just damned unkind uncooperative

some severe credit card writeoffs are coming in future years
