For all of us dimwits out there, CNN has told America, yes folks, we are indeed in a recession. The experts have made it official! Appearantly since last December!

((silence, except for the sound of crickets))

........I had no idea.
 
I've known, as well as I think many people have, that we've been in a reccession, it's now news to me. Yeah, that's a scary plummet in points huh?
 
It's not the points, it's the percentage & that was a lot. I think around 10% they shut it down.
 
It all depends on where you're looking. I have more work than I can get to and gas prices just keep on falling.
 
Who the hell needs to listen to any news regarding a recession?!?! The only thing we need to do is OPEN UP our wallets....nothing in mine but singing moths! LOL
 
singing moths, LOL
The huge job losses are scarey, I feel so bad hearing nearly everyday huge job losses.
We are okay, we live within our means and have very little debt. Our mortage and the tractor is all, (the tractor we make money off of so it pays for itself anyway) We have one credit card we really don't use, just make a small purchase on it each month and pay it off in full, just to keep the account current and in good standing. But I realize no one is indispensible and that could change for us too. Alot of our friends are struggling, some due to their own bad decisions though, having to have the big house with the big mortgage, all the cars are financed, shopping for recreation, it's hard to feel bad when they spend too much to 'look good' but are really drowning slowly. I know that's not the case with most people though.
