[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4106288, member: 27991"] Empty nest? PARTY TIME! All 3 have hit a bad stretch and ASKED to move back for a short time. 2 grandsons hit a rough stretch and ASKED if the move in for a few months. None were denied, none over stayed or had to be nudged. No sad times, when they left. Times are hard. Seen a "blog"? I wish I could find. An economist had made some comparisons. The GREAT Depression vs The SILENT Depression (today). Not exact quotes, but what I remember he stated: Avg income, inflation adj, vs today $4800. $86,000. $55,0000 Avg new house $6000. $160,000. $465,000 New car $800. $20,000 $80,000 Gasoline $0.10 gal. $1.71. $3.69 Everyone is aware of the struggles of our families in the '30s. Today's young adults are in real trouble. I wish the speaker had covered taxation. I feel is a huge part of the equation. Greed and failure of wages to keep up are another piece. A major results may be needed. It will be painful and cost many lives, though. [/QUOTE]
