OH SHIIIIIT

I've worked in the financial services industry for the last 4 years, so I pay more attention to this stuff than I would otherwise. Mostly because it tends to make my job shittier. In fact, I'm going into work in a minute and have to work tomorrow (though even with a recent promotion I'm still paid hourly, so I won't complain. Also, I still enjoy my new job). Anyway, I know at least two members of the board might have a lot to say on this.

Gee, thanks mom.

Really really.

The last time this kind of situation was mis-managed that was one of the impacts. It's a small sample-piece I bring up to illustrate the larger problems we are so totally gonna have.

I like double-dip ice creams but this ain't gonna be that good kind.

SO glad we bought our house when we did. We're paying less per month for our $185K mortgage than we did on our $125K mortgage in 2001, thanks to a considerably lower interest rate.

Yeah, I bought a house that same year. I bought my first property during the 1991-94 trough. My current home is the only one I timed that part of the market right on...

Back in the day in AK, it was well over 10% I seem to recall.

Interestingly (to me), my mom's estate has of course cratered just lately.
