My idea at the moment is to continue increasing my cashflow which is now at around -$15,000 per monthI am not foolish enough to believe its going to be all smooth sailing, hardly....

Pretty much everything I do, I look for wind to catch in my sails and waves to ride to shore.

(but by no means smooth sailing!)

However, I've also had experiences where once I got over that hurdle with that question, it was almost smooth sailing towards getting their property under contract and sold so maybe that's why I tend to put a little more effort and exercise more patience with some of those people.

We weren't a couple years ago before the Fed starting holding rates at .25%, but now that that ship has sailed, I'm a lot less optimistic about the economy than I was a couple years ago (long-term, that is).My big concern is that neither cutting spending nor raising taxes alone is enough -- we need to do both, and we need to do both drastically.
