The money thing is really the major roadblock for people. The internet opens up a whole realm of possibilities and I think working location-free will explode over the next few years. The economic news doesn’t help, but plenty of people survived the Depression and not having money won’t kill anybody. I feel pretty positive about my prospects in CR since I’ve hardly done any networking here and will finally have the time & interest to meet people and get involved in life. It’s kinda hard to do juggling 2 jobs & all.

I don’t think people realize that what goes up must come down, and things are going to be tough for a while. Anyone thinking the real estate market will pick up in a year after several years of explosive growth is nuts. I hope your home sale goes through so you can move on into the life you want.

And I’m NOT going to miss our heating bills at all. I’m a bit relieved that gas prices have dropped so much in the past few months, but the speed at which they dropped should be a cause for alarm. It’s not normal at all.

Of course the whole ‘crisis’ is BS since anyone paying attention would have seen it coming. Of course, tons of folks made their money and ran be the s**t hit the fan.
