bubble?
And now Obama wants to regulate the financial industry and stop people from making money.
I have a friend who was a mortgage broker and he made over $ 2,000,000.00 between 2004 and 2007. During this time he purchased two Mercedes, one for himself, one for his wife, a BMW Roadster for his daughter and a Lexus for this “secretary”. In addition to that, he bought a home in Miami and one in California.
And he was just one of thousands of mortgage brokers. The Wall Street Bankers made billions selling the loans he and others originated and fueled the economy, employing thousands of carpenters and Joe The Plumber.
Why does Obama want to monkey with a system that works so well?
My hubby and I spent two weeks in Miami, FL and loved it! We’d been talking about moving out the NY metro area (too expensive and we hate the dreadful winters) to California for quite some time, but Miami seemed wonderful and is much cheaper than CA. He has a union job that will transfer him wherever, but I would have to find something in my field before we make the move. I would love to continue what I’m doing here down there, but I am willing to go into another field if the pay is the same or better.
We also have a mortgage here and I’m pretty sure, with the current housing market, that our place has depreciated in value. We would love to rent this out and rent something in Miami until we found a place in Kendall, Coral Gables, etc.
Has anyone recently moved several states away? How did it work? Were you able to find a job in your field? I hear folks in Florida will hire New Yorkers quickly. Is this true?
(I work in marketing and we do not have children.)
