Look at the bright side...
How many of you had parents who grew up in the depression? Raise your hands.....right, quite a few. And those of you who didn't, no doubt your Grandparents were around then. Do you remember all the depression era stories that they used on you to make you feel guilty for complaining about your sorry lot in life? Well....now we all have stories to tell our kids and grandkids. This bear market is paydirt for us...think of the mileage that we can get in the coming years from this. This is stuff that money can't buy...well, I guess we are paying for this anyway...
Instead of "Son, when I was young, we had to walk barefoot in the snow uphill for 12 miles, just to get to the school bus, we were forced to eat cardboard boxes for nutrition and for our birthdays, we had to give the other kids our birthday cake*"
we will have:
"Son, you think you have it rough now, when I was young, my internet access was only 14.4k and I only had 3 computers on my desktop."
Man, we are going to be able to milk this for another 50 years. |
