Faulty Memories!!!

For some reason everyone gets brain damage when it comes to money. They conveniently forgot that home which appraised for $150,000 in 2001 which they sold for $230,000 in 2007 now worth a mere $170,000 and call it a bad market while grinning like bandits when they made $80,000 for nothing more than enjoying an inflated market propped up with $trillions in so called war spending which their children will be shackled with for life but now are whining like babies because the economy has tanked and it's time to pay the piper, boo hoo!!!Just as we enjoyed the spirit of inflation we must now deal with deflation to level things out so get over it!!! It's like having a hang-over and remembering something you shouldn't have done the night before so consider the loss as child support for your childish ways!!!
