Have
you looked at the markets recently? I watch the new probably 20 minutes a week, I just don’t ever find anything wholesome on there. Stories of murder, kidnapping, and whatever ugly things are going on in the world just eventually get me down. There is simply no reason to dwell on that stuff, but the big story this month is the bailout program for AIG, so I knew all about that, but I failed to hear anything concrete about how far the market had fallen. I’m off the mindset, investing in the market is for 5-10 year timeframe, so I just add to my 401k and forget it. Well, my bro was over today showing me some quotes….I had no idea the S&P 500 had shed 400 points in the last few months! We’re talking recession even if the government steps in to bailout AIG. That’s why I’m switching to ultracheap everything I can, including getting a tracfone to replace my $50 per month contract cell phone. If we’re going into a recession, it’s time to start pinching pennies for the lean days ahead.
