Homemade Jello Chocolate pudding, lick the pot and spoon after cooking and pouring in bowls. Then chill and get that nice crust on the top. Mmmmmm! My favorite part!!! :huepfenjump3:

I missed all the funs yesterday.  I had to go to DC for the day.
As I've said it before:

Wall street people are whit collard criminals.  They trade inside, pump and dump and in most cases they play with their own money.  NYSE floor runners used to front run their own clients.  I used to watch on level II the same firm that just upgraded a stock, sell it like crazy.
Wall street is very very nervous because they don't like certain race.  They are not sure about the election and this will be the first election year that the market would go down and not up.

Bryan, no ever made any money in the market by panicking.  With that being said, you don't have the luxury of time on your side, however, you have the option of cashing out enough to carry you over for next couple of years if you want to.  The fact that a lot of people are scared is actually good because that's what market looking for (market capitulation) justify getting back in again.
After all, in Wall Street, money is not everything, IT'S THE ONLY THING.  They sell their own mothers if you offer them enough money. :soapbox:

Disclaimer: Although I generalized my statement, there are always exceptions.  :nixweiss:


I love politics; it's the politicians that I can't stand.

Ride safe

since there has been some serious discussion going on here, i'll add my personal experience.

6 yrs ago when we bought our house our combined income was 20-30% higher then it is today
cost of living at an avg of +3% /yr means my bills have increased by at least 20% in that same time

6 yrs ago we could live within our means while paying down vehicle loans that we no longer have.

we were not dumb borrowers no ARM here. and no complaints with the rate we are paying.

dont see any new vehicles in the family future.

do see college payments coming up in the near term.  :nervous:

thats just where my family is at today. i'm not gonna blame anyone, not gonna tell my government to do something about it. we'll keep working hard and paying our bills, and try to keep the CC balances to a minimum.

Yup, sometimes there is just too much month left at the end of the money.

Fundsalow..

Fun money has depleted even though I sold off boats, cars, bikes, campers, not out finacial distress just the old "too much stuff" rule...I have some real estate in north Fla but the taxes have 3x'ed and I know for sure in this market climate, it ain't gonna sell...Gaaa!

Yea, hang in if you can. I just sold a rental, $15,000, less than it would have gone for a year and a half ago. People buying don't have hardly any money, probably putting in $2,500, wanting everyone to pay their way! Even the Realtors are putting in some of their commission. That's how bad it's getting!!

Good response Naitram!

Nancy and I are fortunate to have saved a little money and since the college years are past we are able to pay cash for the toys. Hang in there and that will come, we are 20 years ahead of where you are and have worked hard everyone of the 20. My income for 08 has dropped 73% compared to the 07 numbers and it's only getting worse. But no complaining here because the ride has been great and I know it will come back. Besides, it's only up from here and there's always water cooled motors in the future.

So lets go riding!
