HI all, just making my introduction to this community, I'm very new to this site and the PO issue which seems to snowball into a lot of other issues is freak'n me out a little......well actually a lot!! Besides feeling like I've been fooled to taking the wrong path in life; bought a 600k fixer in suburbia because it's only going to appreciate, work in cubicleland 30 miles away and probably couldn't catch a fish if my life depended on it, I'm pretty certain I'm surrounded by a couple other million people who are in the same boat. In my eyes WTSHTF it's going to get very ugly!
I guess my first question is how do you approach the PO subject with family and friends without coming across as a Doomer!? although that is what I fear is the most realistic scenario....especially in So Cal (family) and the Bay Area where I live. Any and all advice and helpful info. would be greatly appreciated.
