Watching the economic crisis unfold before our eyes has been frightening to watch. Luckily we were left pretty much unscathed until just recently. Owning our business, we were able to work hard over the years and not worry about losing a job. However, another thing has happened. People just won't/can't pay us. We do the work, but never see the money. Were talking about big companies, businesses you see on Rodeo Dr. in Beverly Hills and shops that are dotted throughout some of southern California finest shopping. We have so much money owed to us and simply can't collect. It's frightening.

I see a move in the future is probably imminent. Leaving my ward that I love, my son relocating schools and finding new friends is heartbreaking. We can no longer afford our current location and will have to simplify.

Just another hard working, over taxed family watching the hammer come down on them.

I feel for you...it is people like you that made California reside as number '8' largest economy in the world.
