sucks

im sure you'll find a job after obama raises corporate taxes 10%

maybe you can work in one of his planned 2.5 million new government jobs. until there is no money to pay for those, but thats ok they'll just print more money

things certainly went well with bush, ********

J-SMITH69

of course not. big government = big losers

when klinton left office the DOW and economy was in similar shape

.com bubble burst
hosing bubble burst


the govt had more to do with the latest travesty of economics though

the reason you lost/losing your 401K is because it rightfully belongs to black people.

johnny will confirm.

Luckily I don't have ---- for a "retirement" so there is nothing to "lose" :1

Everybody is fucked right now. The only things that can save your *** is a savings and the motivation to find a new job and bust *** trying to keep it. I see alot of people bitching about not getting enough hours to pay their bills, but when they show up to work they don't do ---- and complain about having to work. I wanted to go out and get shitfaced lastnight, but I had to work today. I made it to work, got ---- taken care of and my bills are paid. I'd really like to buy a new vehicle right now, but it would suck to jump into another payment in such uncertain times so I'm probably going to hold off, which in turn costs the dealership or person I was going to buy from money and the bank I was going to take a loan from money and the state tax money....etc...etc.

As soon as we get consumer confidence back up(however the ---- that's going to happen) we will be in good shape again. People need to spend money to get the ball rolling again, but they also need to be making it before they spend it.

I hope you put some money away for a rainy day. I wonder how many Americans have/had a savings account before this ---- happened? It might not be a bad idea to start putting money away for the next time this happens.....and it will happen again. Who will learn from this and be prepared for next time?

EG-prince

they put money away inside the mattress or that secret compartment in the dresser, but nowadays, who can trust the dollar anyway? might as well take your savings and buy a chunk of uranium. You're going to get cancer anyway, and uranium will never lose its value as long as there are bad guys to blow the ---- out of

lmao.


yea saving money doesn't make much sense when the dollar is going to be worthless in the future.

buying hard assets would be better, but the govt will probably just take those away from you if ---- gets bad enough to where the dollar is worthless.

buy firearms and ammunition.

Gold is still looking pretty decent (comparatively). I'm glad I started buying gold with some spare funds a few years back. Now if the dollar completely tanks (think 1/100 of its value) I'll at least have some gold to get me by.

Man I feel for you, starting to see and hear that same ------- ---- more and more at work. People loosing cars because they were making all this money and based their life style on all the overtime "we USED to average around 34-40hrs per payperiod" and now they cant afford anything because they lived above their means. Company isnt hiring, people not showing up for work because lask of cash to pay their car payments, company sticking the rest of us with overtime thats a HAVE TO HAVE for the customer"toyota". It's a panic one minute with not having people to work on some lines and a stress the next about not having a job or where to put people to work so the BIG guys wont move them out the door type of thing. I'm comfortable financially but not the greatest by any means. But with fidelity holding my 401k in their hands and me bouncing %ages around daily, I'm still loosing mad amounts of money even in the lowest of all risks. Anyone know how if you can roll 401K into a IRA with Fidelity. Man I beter get on the horn with them monday and pull everything except the money market accounts
