Hahah. Go to europe if you want a decent economy.

I'll stick it out here. Not like life is oh so hard compared to other countries, it's just not as easy as you're used to.

in my mind they have been ahead of us for a while..
its not too hard...

Long Term Stategy > Short Term Strategy

What do you think we pick?

All we think about is Quarterly profits (to please stock holders), not long term goals to be successful.

What a fear-mongering piece of crap. YES we're in a recession. YES, it will get worse before it gets better.



2007 & 2008 would definitely spike... it's an economic cycle. Read a book.

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.

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.
