Agree, and I remember those days.
I think we are actually under God's judgment now, but it is going to be much worse. I also think that if we try to divide Israel, God's response may be to literally split our nation in half, and flood both coasts.

Obviously, this is just a sign that we are not spending enough to get to prosperity. Now let’s cash advance some more credit cards. /s
It really is starting to look bad...
I bought my old beater SUV 6 years ago. The same make and model is selling for more than when I bought it.
It is. I am fearful as well. I know some say fear is a sign that you are not trusting in the Lord, but I cannot help it sometimes. All I can do is pray to God for protection for me and my family.
I bought our last 3 cars as used (for myself, wife, daughter). I had always bought new before that.
The new price just cannot be justified unless you have money to burn. A great percentage of auto loans are underwater 10 seconds after the happy new owners leave the dealer parking lot.
When I was a young adult, a 2 or 3 year loan was the norm. So, cars are more expensive and wages are lower. 2 Household wages is now not as much as one was back then. And the kids had someone home watching them, there was a day of rest, and the nation was far wealthier.
Bad decisions certainly can be used to explain that, but it sounds more to me like the blessing of God slowly being removed from a people going astray.

Thanks for post #36.
Too many things to ignore. MANY folks watching and preparing. I expect it to get very ugly very fast.
Stay away from large population centers.
Bump.
