It’s starting to hit hard in my neighborhood. Across the street, married couple sold their truck, wife’s job is headed down, hours cut in half. They’re trying to make do with one car. Next door to them, married couple, husband just lost his sales job, wife’s a school teacher who has had her pay cut. I’ve posted before about my own difficulties, having to shut my business down last year and take a job with a former customer. My next door neighbor has taken her brother in, who has lost his employment and apparently is having difficulty supporting himself. Next door on the opposite side, husband’s in aviation mechanics, business is dicey, hours off, wife’s in healthcare, said she should feel ok, but doesn’t, the hospital is quietly letting people go in small numbers, but it’s starting to add up.
This is just within a 200 yard radius of where I’m sitting right now. No foreclosures in this neighborhood, but if things don’t improve in six months or so, I suspect there will be.
I am trying to keep tabs on how the rest of the country is doing. Mainly thru youtube.com. For my edification, what county and state are you reporting from?? Appreciate a response.
1 existing foreclosure in my neighborhood. 3 of 6 houses in my cul-de-sac are in foreclosure with one (1st person to build here in the subdivision in 1988) going on the auction block May 22nd. RTP area of NC with the 3 foreclosures all once in blue collar occupations. 2 auto repair, one construction - not good.
