Yeah, but have you seen the prices on some of those "final resting places" known as burial caskets and cemetery plots?? The cost of life-after-death is going up.

Heard some guy on the radio the other day who sells caskets to the bereaved.....he said some people pay up to $20K for caskets made of exotic woods. I understand there are some fairly expensive cremation urns on the market, too. And those fancy gravestones....omigod.

Just thought I'd give an update to everyone about how business is in the financial service industry.

It sucks. Comparable to just after 9/11. Nobody wants to spend anything.

Just lost another friend due to layoffs. 5.7% unemployment, my ass. Why are 1/2 my friends out of work?

Have a great day, all.
