I noticed our rentals are booked solid and averaging 3 times the calls of past years. Disney says they average 45k visitors a day this time of year usually but averaging 85k right now. My investments are profiting better than ever. Vacationers usually are gone from here by now but its booming the hardest ever. Everyone seems happy and friendly outside of media world. When is the sky falling again? I didn't pay attention and I bet if i keep the news off life is still what i make it, not what the news dictates. I know people are still struggling in places but opportunity is everywhere. I see help wanted signs all day everyday so plenty of work out there. If you are struggling I hope you can see that life throws curveballs and homeruns but its a journey that is all on you. Don't settle on crums, always better yourself. The only person that owes you a better life is YOU!
Restaurants, brew pubs, theatres....all packed. We don’t even go out on weekends anymore and do our dining out meals during the week, and early, to avoid waiting for a table. Buy movie tickets online in advance so we don’t get there and find they r sold out.
Real estate is doing phenomenal too. If I listed our house today we would have several offers by the afternoon, over the asking price.
The only thing to puss about right now is the out of sight gas prices and our vehicle registration that took a serious hike st the start of the year....those r both due to our senile governor who cannot seem to find other ways to screw the working people out of their $$$
The Shop
I got a new truck last year and my registration renewal was friggin $666. Crooks
Pit Row
Then you will have total shit boxes around 1,000 sq ft a few blocks from the water that are over a million
I'm in Fallbrook. It's a pretty nice little quiet town. No Wal Marts or Home Depots yet. It could pick up soon though with a new college and big neighborhood going in right across the highway
Plus financial institutions are nuts. Bought a new truck lately, more than I ever dreamed I would pay for a vehicle.
It’s been 6 months and I’m still kinda freaked out about it.
Financial dude walks in and says, “you know Tom, with your good credit you could buy a much more expensive truck if you wish”. WTF, are you nuts is what I was thinking?
There was awesome 3/4 ton for 85,000 Can. plus 15% tax. $100,000! We do ok, but have no business buying a $100,000 truck. Could have drove it off the lot no problem, zero percent interest of course.
Not much less than our brand new home bought in 2001 at....8%.
Glad things are picking up in Calgary a bit, have quite a few relatives out there. Never been but probably next year.
I’ll go to Blackfoot and lick some bikes.
Not sure how much longer we can sustain this, but I hope it lasts for another two years.
I bought my house on a foreclosure and put some $ and elbow grease into it. I can comfortably ask double what I have into it...The way the weather has been around here lately, I am seriously considering it.
And the home in your area for $200,000 is probably much nicer than the $million plus homes by the beach.
I'd love to sell the business and move the family Stateside to somewhere on acres in a nice town, can't happen though.
Btw construction is holding our major states economies up. Got nothing when not stops
