Dow at 8000 and falling....

[Peikko 1,575]

Guess we'd all better start looking for good, sturdy cardboard boxes to live in. I've heard that Frigidaire refrigerator boxes are the best....

Why did I think you already owned your house outright?

I have a tent, I think I like that better than a box

I do.

But.... property taxes, baby.

But why spend the effort struggling with tent poles or fighting alcohol soaked bums with broken bottles over the pick of the best boxes - when there are perfectly good bus shelters and doorways out there.

So it's down to where it was, what, 5 years ago?

I don't think the sky is necessarily falling.

but no one had this much equity wiped out all in one week, hence the panic.

Well, I am not sure the goverment has much of a case for collection at the moment, does it?

State tax revenues are falling through the floor, that will reduce state monies received by municipalities - which will respond by either raising local taxes and/or by cutting services.

Thank God I can back to living in my truck.

VS the growth from 5 years ago, yes it is.

But I wouldn't say 'crash' just yet. Hopefully won't have to since quite a few of us don't like to lose money we've invested.

Nothing has affected me yet, but I was poor then and I'm poor now, whoop de do.

A lot of that was stupid growth from a bubble economy.

Obviously there will be pain - possibly long term pain. But I don't think life as we know it is going to end unless you rely on credit to get by, which unfortunately many do.

Yep. Although I think more of the pain now is short term. Once things turn around, then better for all involved. This should be a time for paying down debts... without pushing the credit bubble any further out. There's already enough of that in tow from current debt levels at the deficit stage from uncle Sam that is nearly guaranteeing higher taxes and costs for the mid-term, possibly long-term.

Who knows all I know is I am seriously considering starting to buy.
