We live in a resort area of California near the ocean and many of us are feeling the pinch from the economy where we weren't months ago. I think people are very nervous about what is in store for California. Layoffs, business going belly up right and left, etc. and people losing their jobs. I knew things were bad when one of our favorite stores closed their doors just a few weeks ago. It was a thriving Mom and Pop type business that left people in awe while they shopped there. Gone. Closed. The owners left the state.
Being business owners we have had to really alter our life style. As in turn in the Benz and get a VW, sell the house and move into a town home, use our savings to live on. People owe us money, but they just aren't paying. It's never been like this before, ever. I know several people who are just plain angry and scared and want to pack it in and leave. Were all wondering what's in store for Californians in a year from now.
Don't even get me started on how welfare is so abused in this state. I'll scream.
