the second coming of an ice age
It's currently 69.3 F outside. This is very, very, very disturbing.
*looks out window suspiciously*
Do you think even the weather is mourning poor Merrill Lynch and Wall Street?
Yes, more likely Ike, but the only way I can look at my retirement account without hysterics right now is mocking Wall Street.
Seriously. I have my sweater on non-ironically. Okay, it's also always chilly in this building, but outside? Chilly!

From:They're jacking rates and lowering or cutting off credit limits to juice the balance sheet, and people who had NOTHING to do with the subprime mortgage market get to suffer for it. Assholes.

Man, this day just keeps getting better and better! (And I thought a day that began with showering by candlelight could only improve.)

From:I am so happy I didn't jump on the Buy a House! bandwagon a couple of years back. I knew I could not afford it, with my debt load and paycheck. Ironically, I'm in better financial shape than I have been in a long time--I'll have 2 small cards paid off next month and the mid-sized one by the end of next year, if all goes well *knocks wood*.

From:Word. I had to flat-out tell my (now ex-)husband that I would refuse to sign mortgage papers on an adjustable-rate ANYTHING. I don't expect him to ever thank me for this, but he totally should.

From:I fear my retirement account. At the very least though, I should have some job secutiry - I work for the Bankruptcy department of a major bank. I think I can safely say our department is one of the few not at risk right now. Then again, I may have just cursed us all.
