If the US economy collapses, is leaving the US a good option? I have a home overseas that is paid off. I don’t have to worry abot a mortgage, rent, car payment, or any major expenses. The dollar, even if it is devalued here in the US, will take me a little further over there.

Would it be a good idea to leave if the US economy gets worse and worse and worse?

I’ve been working for a long time and a couple of my bosses have suggested I have a knack for Finance and it really interests me. Now that I’ve enrolled I’ve been looking around and there are lots like a business degree in finance, science degree in finance, computational finance, financial engineering…I’m really good on the math side but will a business degree in finance help me more in the long run?

There are 76 million baby boomers out there. If age discrimination is pervasive as many articles say, could ageism in the workplace potentially have a negative effect on the economy?

When democratic candidates like Barack Obama say that they want to decrease taxes for the middle and lower class and increase taxes for the wealthy, what does this increase in taxes do to our economy? How is it affected by this type of change?

Is it the Chinese? The Japanese? The Middle East? Europe? Personally, I think its the Mexicans. They’re right in our backyard and they practically work for free. How can we combat them and other threats on-going? Can we reach them through diplomacy? Do we need to go a different route, possibly an attack against them? I can’t stand to watch our economy fail!

LIVE IN L.A., CA I put a $15K deposit on a new townhome presently under construction! I went to see the home recently and it is NOTHING as I pictured it to be! The economy is seriously slowing down and house sales are slumping. Would like to know what to look for and/or what are the consequences if I decide to walk away. Rather put the rest of my money into a single family home. But, it was a rush to get in the project without really planning it.

katey asked:


They are bailing out the banks and the car industries, yet it’s the consumer that keeps the economy going. The Consumer is skeptical about taking out loans or spending any money due to lack of confidence in the future of the economy. If we don’t spend, then the Economy gets worse. Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to help us (the consumer by giving us bailouts as apposed to the banks and the auto industries? The more we have in our wallets the more we will spend.
