When I go into quickbooks and see how much I have paid in credit card transaction fees it is so depressing.

Some parts of the state are very depressed.

If we enter a full blown depression, a lot of factors will be in play.

My question today is this -- some people got rich during the Great Depression.

Now those were small, stand-alone restaurants, but you'd think brokers would be looking to make $ considering the market the last few years.In any event, the property is in below-average condition in an economically depressed town.

If a major depression hits and you both lose your shirts, who do you think will be back in the game shortly after? 

As long as the reservation is there, home prices will be depressed in the area.

I think it has a lot of the coursework Ben teaches in his CFU (just a guess).The Depression of 2008 - by Fred E.

And when you live off just say 10% of what you make...damn...you cannot do anything but get richer, irregardless of economic ups & downs (with exception to maybe the great depression).

and if it does work, does it get "depressed" that one year only and next year it's back and you have to do it again?
