My rent went down $200 per month, I will (did) see a modest $200 per month raise this year, and house prices in my city will (probably) fall 10% to 20% over the next 12 months which will enable me to buy a decent place. I was pretty defensive with my investments so I didn't lose any money when the market crashed, and I've made about 25% since I took my money out of my money market fund and started trading wish I new more about trading so I could make that much on the money in my bank account. Overall I'm doing pretty well, but I am a little worried about unemployment rising to a level where it is difficult to find another job (I'm very bored of my current job) and the poor economy hurting the people around me. |
yay, my situation posted above
