I work in the collections area of the company, so I am golden. All you guys feel free to go broke, I will just keep having people to call.

It feels like things have been better since January started, but I guess not for the broader market.

Some of my neighbors are walking out on their houses and moving into apartments. Some of these people with more then 10 years of equity in their homes.

+1 here. Except for my 401K, im doing good. Winter is normally slow for me anyway, but this year Ive stayed surprisingly busy. My wife is the manager of a cell phone place, and December was their best month ever. I cant complain.

As long as I don't watch the news everything seems like business as usual and I would have never guessed there was any economy problems...

Come to california place is falling apart you dont have to watch the news to know the state is bankrupt,cities are going bankrupt. Stores closing on every corner. California is the heart of the us economy and the failure of this state is a huge reason we are in this boat.


From what I can see is simple, small purchases under 1000 dollars are going fine. Large ticket items are hard to get rid of just like the olden days of the 80's. Apparently the word finally got out that making 10 bucks an hour doesnt make you deserve much more than an apartment and a used truck,
