I'm not a huge fan of my job, nor was I ever... But in these tough times, I don't complain about it anymore since a lot of the people around me in different professions are losing their jobs, getting laid off, etc. I feel for them. The police business, however, is booming. When broke people become broker, they steal more, rob more, pillage more, and generally cause even more trouble than they were causing before. This may be one of the few professions where job security is extremely good. Im earning a good steady paycheck, and so is my wife. We were fortunate enough to be able to take advantage of automakers offering 0% for up to 72 months! So we bought the little lady a new Ford Edge fully loaded. We are blessed to be where we are at this point in our lives. It also helps tremendously that we didnt buy things we couldn't afford, and we live within our means. Even though lots of people were buying houses way more than they could afford, we stayed happy with what we had and could comfortably afford so we didn't end up needing a "bail-out". It bothers me that the people who were conscious of their spending for the last few years will now have to bail out the people who weren't. Sorry for the rant.
