And thats over the next 2 years. Housing prices still need to go down at least another 15%, think of the impact that will have on foreclosures, unemplyment is growing at a monumental rate.
I am suprised at how many people I still see shopping or at restaurants. Thats going to end quickly. The holiday sales will be abysmal, the stock market is going to go even lower.
Can you imagine if there is an international incedent in the middle of all this?
Please, take my advice - BE PREPARED. This may be the great depression you tell your grandkids about some day, no kidding

Dude, I'm with you on this one -
If you do prepare yourself and it
doesn't happen, then all you will have done is learn to live WITHIN your means and perhaps you'll also have a little stashed away.
If you don't prepare yourself, home and family for something that may happen down the road, you're not gonna be able to play catch-up on it once the mud has already hit the fan.
Kinda like the folks who refuse to evacuate and decide to stay on barrier islands during a hurricane to party it up. When you see 'em interviewed later, they seem somehow to have seen the light and swear they'll never do it again
Hey, it's up to you to decide - blow it off if you like. It's still a free country
