I am increasingly pessimistic about it. For other reasons, more optimistic about my own life, like there is a calm about it, but yeah, this economy is fvckery doodly fvcked right now if we use common sense guessing to where it's going to go. There's not much I can do besides get noticed at work (so far working pretty darn well, actually) and cut my crack addiction back because that is expensive.
When I see unemployment head over 10% ill start to worry about a depression. Here in my home state of Utah (Mormon jokes welcome) Were at a whopping 3.7% unemployment
I think the US will be damn lucky not to hit 10% unemployment before this is over. People need to understand that the great depression, for example, took time to really get the blood letting going. When it started, unemployment was very low. The question is never where we are now but where we're going.
Good idea. Personally, I am building up savings, buying nothing so I guess I am the cause of our current econmic problems.
You are in part. I'm doing similar, notwithstanding the cruise we're going on in April. I sure hope I still have a job then or else I'll feel like the world's biggest ass
No problemo, I have 3 years salary equivelent in credit lines.
For how long? I have tons available on credit cards but that can disappear overnight or have a jacked rate.
