Money in the bank

Inflation will likely be on our horizon within the next two years, most analysts believe, as a result of all the money the treasury is pumping into the economy.

I met a Remax top 10 broker/realtor for lunch last week (long time friend) and she recalled entering the industry in 1980 when mortgage rates were 20%!

So... with interest rates at a very low current rate, now is the time to prepare yourself for what could happen a few years from now. -- Interest rates will rise!

Of the two million jobs lost since January 2008, only about 2/3 will return by 2013.

Starting salaries for new college grads averaged $48,633. – That’s $40k more than I received, albeit quite a few years ago. J

What is interesting, perhaps, is that I was able to buy my first house 2 years later!

7 out of 10 employees do not believe there is a clear relationship between their pay and their job performance.

Thus... job satisfaction is dropping while job-hunting activity even for those who are quite satisfied with their jobs is increasing.
