Even on my little street of smaller,less expensive ranch style homes,
it's starting.
At first it was little add-on rooms, now it's second floors.
And it a couple of cases, the whole house was replaced with a new
house that doubles it's sale price.
I'm starting to think that people are afraid to save their money these days.
They must think '
the end is near' and might as well spend those
bucks on a new home, or home improvements.
I've been thinking of investing in some index stocks.. DIA or GLD,
but have not done so. Mostly, my money is now in CDs..Crappy CDs!
BUT, we have been spending a considerable amount of money on our home.!.
If it's a purchase for the house, there is hardly any discussion.
Humm, maybe the end is near? May as well spend it, while it's still worth something..?.
