Its beyond sad that people are losing their jobs and homes. People are just walking out the homes and leaving what most would view as precious and even close to the heart items...like their pets. I listen to the news every morning while having my coffee and breakfast and working on the computer. Where at one time I felt this was good to keep me 'in touch' with what was happening in the world, I have re-evaluated this and will probably stop. I'd like to hear some good news. Today I listened to the news about more job losses and the gigantic bonuses the MLynch executives were getting or already got... It just doesn't make sense. A small piece of their bonuses could be life changing for some. How much money does a person need??? I agree with Mitch, the differenc in the economy now from 3 or 4 years ago is staggering.

They just use a 3rd party foreclosure database called foreclosurefreesearch.com to power their site and have nothing new to add to the mix, it seems.

While the figure of a foreclosure every thirteen seconds is heartbreaking, there are some other less than optimistic statistics as well. The employment index indicated a loss of 693,000 jobs lost in December last year. That equates to a little over 15 jobs a minute lost. Let's just hope that those figures take a positive turn before sinking into oblivion. It is unreal to look back only a couple a years ago to the staggering differences in what our problems were.

Nothing like failure to encourage out side the box thinking. Obviously a 4% interest rate would also help.
