Here's the issue we're knocking around, wonder what your thoughts are.
Glancing around, I notice that interest rates are rising, premium gas has just touched $3.00/gallon, real estate taxes are going up, there's a rumor of 70% electrical rate hikes, and the job market isn't so great.
I knew a guy who had a convenience store, like a 7-11 but with more refrigerator cases, he told me his summer electric bill was $3,500/month.
Looks like harder times are on the way for some.
I've shared this on WRP but don't think I mentioned it on TB2K, but after working many, many hours of uncompensated overtime and forfeiting 6 days of vacation, my wonderful employer booted my butt out a few months ago.
The good news is that I had been helping an old pal out, doing sub-contract work a few hours here and there. When I told him I had lost my job, he said, "Great! Does this mean I get you full time now?"
Things turned out OK for me but looking forward, I can see that it's gonna get tough for a lot of folk. It hasn't quite started yet so you have some time to pull things together.
Suppose the higher costs for energy, taxes, interest causes a recession and you lose you job, what is your plan-B?
I had been helping this guy, I call him "J", on and off for a couple years.
Do you have a line on something else and what is it? What's a good back stop?
