It's too bad that isn't taught to everyone. I heard some scary statistics a few days ago. Only 80% of the U.S. population saves any money at all and 40% of those have $2000 or less in savings! But, what was even scarier was the fact that 60% of this country is now living paycheck to paycheck!!Suzie-Q (S-Q)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13726628714596925390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33384754.post-87684342408752338332007-03-13T19:42:00.000-07:002007-03-13T19:42:00.000-07:00Hang in there, S-Q, it's not time to worry - yet. ...Hang in there, S-Q, it's not time to worry - yet. <BR/><BR/>It's hard when stocks plummet, but balance it with the all-time highs just weeks ago. This is more of a correction from that than serious trouble.<BR/><BR/>Housing bubbles are like everything else. Today's hot area is ice cold as it gets too expensive and companies and people leave. Cyclical, with some winners, some losers.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I thought the economy would crash with all the outsourcing of jobs to other countries. It was certainly unpleasant for a lot of families but one way or another we chug along, good years followed by bad years and round and round.<BR/><BR/>Not too many fun things about getting older but one advantage is having seen it all before. And we survive. <BR/><BR/>Hope I'm not lecturing too much, but my father taught me about finances. If you spend more than you earn you will not have money when you need it. You will make bad choices. Turn off the TV and do your homework so you'll be able to earn enough to buy what you want. Always save. Instant gratification is not the way to success, longterm planning and work is.<BR/><BR/>That's the real problem with Bush - Daddy bought him everything, and gave him more when he failed at everything. He thought he knew better than his father who worked his way up. He thinks he can do what he wants and no consequences because that's how he was raised.<BR/><BR/>Serves him right, but why the heck did we have to get stuck with him?KitNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887604688816019702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33384754.post-43776326833995854232007-03-13T17:44:00.000-07:002007-03-13T17:44:00.000-07:00Geezer:Wake up!

The 'housing bubble' was the only thing that was keeping this economy afloat for the past couple of years!Suzie-Q (S-Q)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13726628714596925390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33384754.post-55121230256618295572007-03-13T17:37:00.000-07:002007-03-13T17:37:00.000-07:00$$$$$$$$$$$sssssss.........*.......zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZ...$$$$$$$$$$$sssssss.........*<BR/>.......zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZGeezer Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904946096365037819noreply@blogger.com
