Recession Lexicon: Vicarication

n./ Staycations are so 2008. These days, the trendy way to travel is vicariously, through other people’s adventures. Whether you’re unemployed and running out of savings or are working so hard to keep your job that you can’t take time off, it’s an easy way to save on airfare!

We heard this one from our friend Stephanie Walker, who writes the Love in the Time of Foreclosure blog. Stay tuned for some of her writing on Recessionwire.

Ex: We had to cancel the trip to Hawaii because my salary was cut. But our friends are doing fine, so I get to take vicarications.
