Sweetheart, I think we should concentrate on paying off our home. Which we did last year. Now if we can continue to pay the taxes and the insurance, which go up every year maybe we can make it. We are on a fixed income and it is nip and tuck every month. The subprime lenders are the culprits with there magic mortgages. - a guest Wed, 11 Apr 2007 20:50:21 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/1315-time-to-pay-attention.html#comment-1862 Since this country began, recessions have occured in 7 to 11 year cycles, depressions in aproximately 60 year cycles. Any increase over these lengths of time added to the pain. We haven't had a "Depression" since 1929. The next one is going to hurt so bad we aren't going to recognize this country when it's done. - a guest Tue, 10 Apr 2007 03:24:05 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/1315-time-to-pay-attention.html#comment-1843 what about rent prices? - a guest Wed, 04 Apr 2007 17:58:19 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/1315-time-to-pay-attention.html#comment-1842 great insight into what could be the start of a slowmotion depression; way way too much debt out there. - a guest Wed, 04 Apr 2007 16:16:47 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/1315-time-to-pay-attention.html#comment-1831 (like me). Thanks, Chris. Now I understand. "If I had to boil the main problem down to one issue, what would it be? Affordability. House prices are now far, far beyond what wages can sustain." Homeowners may now officially start kicking themselves for paying twice what their house will soon be worth. But, if they're able to continue making payments, at least they'll have what a house was intended to be: a home -- not the investment of the century. - Russell Wellen Tue, 03 Apr 2007 17:48:49 +0100
