Harder to borrow for luxuries with declining market

Many people are stretched pretty thin with basics like a mortgage payment, groceries, food and utilities and don't have very much true discretionary income. With a declining housing market, home values aren't appreciating as in the recent past, which means you can't borrow against a line of credit as easily to go further into debt for luxury items would be my guess.
With a feeling of less certainty that you will be able to pay off debt when you sell your house, you may be less likely to tap a credit card or home equity line of credit to buy that 60" plasma TV.
