The economy is in such a terrible state right now. Today I was checking out the unemployment rates across the country and Michigan by far has the highest. That’s such a sad thing but I know it’s true. I was in that position for nearly a year. I have the experience and the qualifications and yet I wasn’t able to get a job.

One thing that I’ve noticed with everyone being jobless is the price on homes and buildings. Real estate is dirt cheap because families and businesses had to move since they lost their jobs and clients and therefore couldn’t afford to pay the rent. People are trying to sell these places so they are slashing the prices. If you do have the money and are looking to buy a new home or some commercial real estate then the time is now! You can buy a nice place for very little, fix it up and sell it for 3 times what you paid for it, if not more. Hey, it’s just a suggestion.
