Your reminiscence of Philadelphia ...Morning, Judy. Your reminiscence of Philadelphia is poignant. I've always had a little fantasy of living like that, in a city, for just a little while. (I'm a country girl at heart.) I would stop by the flower stall every week without fail!<BR/><BR/>Remember, Judy, unless you are desperate to sell your house any time soon, any devaluation is just hypothetical. My advice: don't sell any stocks now. It will come back.Sooner if they do the bail out which makes me resentful since we have to pay for other's screw ups. (And the people who took out those too high mortages bear responsibility too because they are adults and should know what they can and can not afford. If you do something you know you can not afford, how is it someone elses fault? But I said bear SOME responsibility. Certainly not the bulk of it. Also, a huge percentage of those mortgages didn't go to individual little families, but went to real estate speculators.) Still, those of us like you and me, in or nearing retirement, shouldn't have to see our security, everything we worked for in our lives wiped out either. It is nerve wracking though, isn't it?anyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330838836181706358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101571539062052986.post-32360602697490438572008-09-25T07:48:00.000-07:002008-09-25T07:48:00.000-07:00It's too bad that you moved away from the city you...It's too bad that you moved away from the city you loved. On the other hand, when you said you moved to the Midwest and your profile says you're in Kentucky, I audibly laughed. We get little enough recognition as it is.Derikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168261297670606489noreply@blogger.com
