copy that. finally the news has something to say.
And remember. A new low on the stockmarket is also a recordThere is nothing good about recession.
Prices soar,there will be no significant pay rises for a lot of us.
Not to mind the worry that some of us have about losing our jobs.
Sure it would be nice to have the time to hang out in town chatting to people over a coffee.
However without a salary one wouldn’t be able to afford the coffee.
Oh and also it may not be too nice out there on the street when one’s home is repossessed.I have no positive thoughts on recession, in fact I am seriously worried.

That would be good, kill off the celebrity culture and focus on reality.

Ofcourse you’re worried. Everybody is, unless you live under a bridge. But that doesn’t make anything better. In fact I think that if everybody worries it make things worse. If you look at stockmarkets. They go down because somebody says something, or people feel a bit of financial unrest. If all the brokers worry (which they do) the market goes down.
Sometimes the reasons are (for me, but I never had a penny and now I have a little bit the state gave me a guarantee) absolutly crazy.
And for people losing their houses. It happens already for the last year or so. You don’t really see it because they’re still living in it. For the banks its better to rent it back to the owners then to try to resell it. And there is nothing wrong with renting ( I do it all my life and I’m happy. )
The strange thing about this country is that everybody is so obsessed by owning their own house, that they’re willing to take out mortgages that even their children would nor be able to pay back.
The positive thing about this collapsing of the building boom is that there are so many houses out there to rent, that you be able to drive a good bargain.
