When I was younger and trying to determine what I wanted to be when I grew up (something I still ask myself from time to time), I remember my dad telling me there are three basic needs that people will always have: food, clothing and shelter.
I wonder if years down the road, we’ll look back at this time in history as “The Great Fate of 2008″. It’s anyone’s guess right now if we’ll look back and be thankful we dodged a bullet, or still feel the sting of being hit by one! Either way, we’ll survive. There is a slowly fading generation that’s close enough to guide us through whatever happens next.
Maybe we’ll start to eat differently. We’ll teach our children how to cook from scratch and make healthier choices. Maybe patched blue jeans (for real) will become a fashion statement. Perhaps we’ll be able to accommodate a modest wardrobe that can actually be contained in one dresser and a closet, instead of a walk-in dressing room! Maybe consumers will insist on quality rather than planned obsolescence.
What about housing?? Everyone reading this has a place you call home. How are YOU affected by the Great Fate of 2008? After serving the real estate industry for 25 years, I’ve come to realize people want to talk about real estate because everyone who lays their head on a pillow at night is affected by it.
