    Another Friend Losing Their Home

    Payroll numbers out for December

    <p>Well, with all of this I expect some of us to have a healthy concern about keeping our current job and already reducing or downgrading our discretationary expenses and working on a backup plan, because if the consumers are reducing their expenses is going to hit the companies and there's...
