Of course the market affects my spending budget. Until one or two of the stocks in my portfolio make like Amazon/Google and take off, I'm going to be stuck working for a living, thus limiting my card budget.

VERY nice pre-market pop this morning for you. Gotta love tech stocks.

I think on 4 figure and less cards the stock market doesn't have much of an affect. I am certain it can (and does) on many 5 figure cards and higher. Each person is their own financial situation though and I am sure some high rollers might not have their decision affected.

I have not owned a single stock or tradeable security in years. So the market has zero affect on my card-buying. Interest rates, however, that's another story....
