Thanksgiving Woes

The media is talking about rebuilding and growth.  However, there are only certain sectors that seem to be picking steam.  Consumer spending is probably the only thing keeping us a float at this time.  Home sales, Home refinancing and Home remodeling are directly affecting our economy. This is consistent with many of my previous clients who feel the need to either refinance so they remodel their kitchen and bathrooms or refinancing to purchase a new car.  Meanwhile, the Euro is gaining strength against our dollar at E.85/$1.00.  My European vacation that I plan on taking with Nina will be  expensive.
