Bankruptcies: 1,407,736 (12:24 PM)
Foreclosures: 857,700 (12:24 PM)

The Unemployed numbers would be much higher if the not legal to work was counted.

Also, some of the signs that things will take a while to get good is the problems with the Schools, Fire Fighter, Hospitals and all the Fed. jobs making more the $100K .

lol
The state and local eco's might get battered too next yr as the support from the fed gov wanes. Things will be ugly for a while I think.

If things do get to a point where it might get really dangerously ugly, Brasil will look good and you guys are invited.

After watching that pizza vid, I've already packed a set of bags. Now I know the right town to go to too. ;)

Grab a set of wheels for Harold, and we are out of here.

Its funny, as I've heard a lot of the "undocumented" workers have been leaving the US and going back to Mex bc contruction has just died off. If Slim keeps doing as well as he is, it may be Americans sneaking across the border south looking for jobs.

Yo conoce un poco de espanol, pero no tengo ningun idea de la lengua portuguesa.

That video is nothing . Want to see our Paparazzi (Paparazzo)? http://ego.globo.com/Entretenimento/...0-7195,00.html.

I tell a few people, before you retire, invest in a place where you're going to enjoy life to its fullest. The answers I get are usually if $2K-5K a month is good enough. I tell them they'll live like kings in Brasil .

I lot of Brasilians went back to Brasil and I saw on the Brasilian news paper here in NJ that a lot got deported . Free flight to Brasil is not bad at all .

There are 4 languages thought in school down there: Portuguese (Of course ), English, Spanish and French. So you'll be good .

Ha! I opened that link at work, had to close it quick lol! Will check out again later (another good use for the smartphone ;) )

My plan was to retire in Cape Town, SA, but you are making a very convincing arguement. The plane ride is much shorter too.

I just hope by the time I'm ready to buy a place that there hasn't already been a huge real estate rush to drive up all the prices. Europeans are starting to discover SA, and will probably continue after the world cup there this year. Then again, they may all be broke by then.

There are some absolute gems around the world if you are willing to live a little adventurously, and money goes much, much farther.



C is looking nice. We'll see where it goes. :)

Brasil is cheap to live and I think it will be for a long time. Think about, minimum wage there is close to 300 reals and some live on that.

You're right, there are some absolute gems around the world.

Too bad I don't have buying power, I would've bought way more shares then I did . One good call on my side is not bad . I'm still debating if I should sell some of my positions. It would suck if one that I sold got a good run afterwards .
