Economic turmoil makes me want to spend money

The weird nature of my job makes me a few steps removed from the current economic turmoil. I'm sure it's going to hit me eventually, but right now it's just in the headlines.

This makes me want to spend money.

Logically I know I shouldn't, logically I know I should save it up because I can see the stormfront coming. But the devil on my shoulder keeps whispering in my ear that technically I can justify spending money now, so I should do it while I can justify it. If I buy pretty things now when I can justify it, then when I lose my job I'll have my pretty things and I can just shrug my shoulders and go "Oh well, can't unspend the money."
