    "But just glad to not be upsidedown on mortgage like so many people are right now..."

    Amen to that! My wife and I stuck in our little 3/2 home while friends I know upsized into huge homes. Then the housing market collapsed, people went bankrupt or they're upside down on their mortgages. One friend I have lives in his $500K home that's now worth about $260K (he's probably $150K upside-down). We suffered through lots of Florida summers without a pool, but now we've got one and I don't have to worry about next month's mortgage payment.

    Sometimes less is more.

    I think less is going to be more for a long . . . long . . . time. You can't overcome 35 years of living nationally on credit in 5 years. I'm not sure what this will mean for the pool industry, except that there will be a heck of a lot of Intex pools!

    But, I think that's a good thing, for the most part*. People forget that the ORIGINAL American dream was freedom from oppression, not freedom to shop till you drop!

    * If China becomes THE world power, I'm very afraid THAT will be a very, very bad thing, even for the Chinese. Take a look at these articles, about the recent high speed train crash:

    The authorities are LITERALLY burying the evidence, possibly including live people. One 2 year old baby was rescued by a policeman disobeying direct orders.
