    Dont be so bad, where is the benefit? and what do you mean boasting. boasting cause they have a house? Or boasting cause you dont

    The only benefit here is for debt collectors

    pawn brokers , repro men and auction houses

    I had one of them visit my house in the dead of night last week. I heard a lot of rattling outside my window and then a sudden car engine sound. At the time I thought nothing of it and went back to sleep. However the next morning when I went outside to my surprise I had two cars in my driveway. One my original and the other an almost exact duplicate of it.

    Boasting because they have a few houses. I don't have to listen to them s hitein' on anymore. Thats the benefit. (not just houses I suppose, just material wealth in general)

    Apparently cheap lipstick sales go up during recessions.
    Women will always wear it but will opt for the cheaper brands over the more expensive ones.

    So people put your money in lipstick.

    If they are deeply in debt, then they didn't own them houses outright.

    Become a grave digger instead. On your first day at work they put you in charge of over 400 people.

    Amen to this. You can almost feel the desperation from the sellers and the lack of competition from other bidders. Win-win for a buyer like me. :D

    mechanics! You can't buy or sell a car so you have to get it serviced or repaired.
    Not true I'm afraid.

    I was talking to my own mechanic last week and he told me things had gone very quite. Reason being, that people who used to always service the car every 10k miles are now letting it go 20k or 30k before bringing it in. Or possibly just waiting untill it breaks down.
