Actually I have a very succesful insurance agency and making the most money I have ever made in my life. My wife is a veterinarian with her own practice and we have no kids so guess what.. We have little or no debt and lots of money to spend on toys.
That being said I am from an area that has lost it's manufacturing base over the last 10 years and can see the decline and lowering of the way of life in my area due to lower paying service jobs. I just had my 25th HS reunion 2 weeks ago and one of the topics frequently heard from returning classmates from other areas was how "rundown" the area looks. I just read where the unemployemnt rate in mI is now 7% and rising.
I admit the country is doing pretty good right now in some areas. However we are riding on a waive of prosperity due to "excess" consumerism that has been propping up the economy artificially. Wait until all the equity loans and CC 's are tapped out. Of course it may be a good thing ..we will no longer have to put up with all those ditech and e-loan commercials on TV.
Yep I guess I am an old fashioned fart-you know the type- put's our nation first and a concern over the well being of my fellow American workers and their way of life.
I guess my way of thinking and old fashioned patriotic fervor has been relugated to the landfill of 21st century globalism.
