What are you looking for?
Are there really signs that the economy is hitting bottom?
So tell me, what are they?
What would make you feel like the pressure on your personal finances has lifted? Being able to eat dinner out every week? Buying a new car?
I'm interested in learning what are your personal economic indicators.
Whether you watch home sales or cereal sales or luxury goods or boat reposessions. Tell me what tells you the direction of the economy.
And which way the signs are pointing now.
Do your see any hint that we are at the bottom?

My personal indicator is seeing the CFO's that authorized bad loans get fired. That and tightened regulation, especially in the verification process.

If I get the word (hopefully) tomorrow that I have a buyer for my house I will definitely feel that the pressure on my personal finances has lifted...so I'll let you know then. (I'm expecting a miracle!)

Yes. Not a miracle, no. But a great sign of things getting going toward something like normal.
