I live near a big tourist area and it's just the opposite here.
Tourist numbers are way down, lots of small businesses closed
and numerous homes for sale, that have been for sale for 1-3 years.
I counted seven homes totally abandoned this afternoon as I drove
to the post office.

But, me personally, I'm doing better financially than I ever have.
Not getting rich but am doing ok. I'm a firm believer in the so called
"American Dream", where if you work hard you can be successful.
And even though I currently own my home I'm ready to get out and
find something smaller. Looking to rent something a lot smaller.
I'm learning as I get a little older that acquiring 'stuff' doesn't make
me happy. The less I have to take care of and worry about, the better
I'll be.
