It's a good thing you economic geniuses aren't calling the shots isn't it? Doom and gloomers...
I'm saving 6 figures every year. Never banked so much jack. It's not making much, but it'll come around.
Great time to buy a house. See the listing prices in AL? Take 25% off that price and you'll be making a fair offer. Hell $250K will get you all the home you'd ever want or need. In other areas that won't even get a you starter home in the ghetto.
I'm trying to save a million so I can get out, only that probably won't be nearly enough. Housing is insane around the country still. The correction shouldn't be over. We need to see home pricing continue to drop.

My choice is what I choose to do,
And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.
Your choice is who you choose to be,
And if you're causin' no harm, then you're alright with me.

We are so far into a recession that our economy is now in a freefall heading down to depression quickly.
The government is in denial and the head of finance today would not use the term recession on the tv. "Finance people can call it what they will, but the term doesn't matter."
It is what it is and I don't see it getting better in the foreseeable future.
Gas prices are skyrocketing dragging food prices and other items necessary to live with while the dollar is under the basement and still dropping like a bag of bricks in water.

Government & its "employees" are never in recession, let alone a depression. Afterall, our money is their money, at least in their convoluted manner of reconning.
John McWar even conceded on tv last night that people outside the metropolitan areas are hurting.
If government was a fashion statement, it would be just now discovering bellbottoms & sideburns.
