The sky is falling....the sky is falling. Buy guns and ammo. BTW...those of us who saved when times were good and didn't run up huge debts aren't scared.

Not a soapbox. Just sick and tired of hearing the same drumbeat from the "sky is falling" crowd. This is a cyclical downturn and we'll recover. Some things may be different; some things may stay the same, but this mantra that life as we know it has ceased to exist and we're all doomed is getting old fast.

Also tired of hearing about people who made no attempt to plan for their own future and are now suffering the consequences. I'm not foolish enough to ignore the fact that I could be out of a job tomorrow, but I'm also not foolish enough not to have planned for that possibility.

Life as many people knew it over the last 1-2 decades will cease to exist. For some this will be rather dramatic, where as others may not even notice. Just depends how much you got catch up in the zeitgeist of the day.

Regardless, people are often melodramatic about this stuff, but I think the shift in behavior could be pretty profound.
