Hello All,

I just had the chance to view the latest economic stats and wanted to pose a question to the SL community:

Payments have consistently climbed from $12 million for the week starting 7/4/04 to 54.5 million in the most recent period. That is a phenomenal amount of growth. I'm not exactly sure what accounts for this dramatic, 4-fold increase. Can anybody offer ideas?

I'm also amazed at how little of the economy land sales represent - only 6% of all economic activity.

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts.

Sincerely,
Jacqueline

Lowered cost of land + lower cost of $L on GOM = more money in your pockets

Damn..I knew I overdid it on my last trip to the mall. But I really did need those 3,498 outfits, 63 new skins, 387 vehicles and the umbrella.
