Kind of like for me my grandparents living through the great depression borrowing money and paying interest was against their religion.

I truly dreaded the standard retirement plan when I was in my 20’s  “save as much as you can and hope you die before you run out”seemed REALLY depressing/scary.

His sole objective in life coming out of the depression was for us to have a roof over our head, all the food we could eat and all the milk we could drink.  

I have had two cases of major tree damage in the last couple years and about 9 trees total removed.

It relates to the great depression because of spending and failing banks due to bank runs and poor investment strategies, the 1979–1988 time frame with high rates, and 2004-2008 excessive growth in home values in a short time.

I would venture to say more than half of the properties we've viewed down there vacant and in need of major work were rentals being given up by the owners.  

I've heard good things about Spartan Invest as well, but haven't worked with them directly.You have to be careful in Birmingham, though - it's a pretty depressed market, especially around the city center.

Finally she answered the phone and said she has no money, has health issues and her baby father just got shot last week and she is depressed.

I think it’s going to get much worse & that we will enter a depression.

The Financial Crisis of 2007/2008 took place 3/4ths of a century after the Great Depression.
