You know when this is going to get really interesting?
When money gets tight, millions of low income folks are going to stop paying their monthly premiums.
I'll go out on a limb and predict that things are going to get tight (tighter??) before the end of the year. Hopefully, not as bad as 2008-2009, but we will see. The silver lining is that it might spell the end of Obamacare, if no one has money to participate in it.
Mrs WBill teaches part-time for a local college. She's done it for years (15? 20? I can't remember. For about ever, I think....)
Anyhoo, she told me last night that her class size this semester is more than double what it usually is. Two classes, 40 students. Usually she'd have between 15 and 20.
Anytime her class size goes up like this, the economy tanks. The last time was 2008-09, time before that was 2000-01. Her class size increasing is usually a semester (sometimes two) ahead of the problems.
I've already gotten my retirement portfolio aligned more conservatively....did that awhile back. However, I'm going to check it over again this weekend.
