We awoke this morning to the news of a 1,000 point drop on the stock exchange in the FIRST TEN MINUTES OF TRADING!!!
The news is blaming the Chinese's screwing around with their economy and the value of the yuan. We shall see.
The trend did correct somewhat during the day, but we're still down $15,000 over the last couple weeks.
It is a very stark reminder that we truly do need the money that her son and his fat assed girlfriend/fat assed wife have been mooching off us for almost 11 years.
I told SWMBO years ago, that we should just get the money from the house, and put it into silver, and keep the cash from sale in a coffee can under the bed or in a nice solid floor safe. How different things would be today, and that's obvious from reading prior rants/postings in this blog.
SWMBO and I spent the last couple of days assembling the shed in the back yard, and it looks OK! It is wonderful working with her, and she tries so hard, even though she's the equivalent of a 90-pound weakling! I lover her.
Hopefully, tomorrow I can get some rafters installed, and head down the track to the finish line; maybe get the garage cleaned out--finally!
