'Fools' in positions of power (bankers, politicians, media) are the worst of the lot. What a sad way to live your life trusting no one, waiting for the doomsday and looking for another data point to validate your reality while you wait. My view is that you can be realistic and positive at the same time. If you need a house buy one within your means or rent if that makes more sense for you. Both options are fine, one is not better than the other they are just different. We will have tough times and better times, the cycle goes on as it has done for many years. Save as much as you can, work hard, respect yourself and respect others. Same stuff most of us teach our kids. Quite simple really.

But the bubble will burst or paper money is worthless and it will prove the world does not run on paper money just military might. US of A Nation debt at time of this posting.

As long the flaw is there, the sky will never fall. What does it mean for common folks like us? Learn to swim and enjoy life. #99 Onemorething
