---- pisses me off, EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past few weeks the national news has a story that involves our "crumbling economy"

Seriously, shut the ---- up. I don't care. Does that make me ignorant? Maybe. I just have to focus on graduating college, I don't give a ---- what some newsanchor wants to say to try and scare people.

Re: We need to start getting concerned.
 

Seriously. I'm not trying to be ignorant on the subject, but I'm not going to put on foil caps either.

Fact is, there isn't ---- you can do about it other than keep your own finances straight and go with the flow. No sense in being stressed about something you can't change. Deal with it, and shut the ---- up.

I hate watching the news because of all the "ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!!11" garbage they put on it. I read the news online so I can filter out what's worth knowing about.

Re: We need to start getting concerned.
 

Theres three things that put us here:

People flipping houses and making excessive profits and driving up values more than they should.I understand a 100% increase in 10 years but locally they tried 400% and fucked everything up.A 100k 1500 sq foot shithole is still a shithole 10 years later that will cost you 120k to build.People are stupid when they buy ---- thats not worth the propery or building materials.

People using there credit cards excessively and once thier house payment goes up they cant pay.

Oil prices.Lets drill our own ---- until we all drive electric cars for daily drivers.
