A View From Florida
I’ve been in south Florida escaping the Vancouver “snowmageddon” and although it’s paradise down here 
, the fear and concern over the economy is being felt everywhere – from South Beach all the way to Disney.
It is a depression. At least that’s what the TV and the papers are telling us.
I can say after living on the East coast for 8 years, including NY through 9/11, I have never felt this type of chill.
I’ll be back to Vancouver next week, where we’ll hopefully escape what’s going on here.
Once your house drops by 20% it changes everything. Banks have frozen credit even on people who have equity in their “newly” valued homes – now you need to have at least 50% equity, or they’ll take away all your credit lines.
If it does spread north, at least I’ve been acclimatized.

Yes, We are in the throes of economic uncertainty. But, those that keep “on truckin” will still do well.
That is the American Spirit. It is the basis on which by grandparents came to America from Russia with nothing but the clothes on their backs…and managed to send their kids through school, and my generations through universities.
The funny thing is that many people will prosper big time through these hard times. In fact, I’ve written a workbook for sucess during these challenging times. These are things that I learned from My Dad, and you can download it Free on my website:
