> [@cougarspeed](#): > > I wouldnt like to call any of my money “play” money i work too hard for that. All play money wtf im damn sure not all of my money is “play” money. As most people with a good balanced portfolio i have a certain amount i would call “high risk” and with that i will move it around as i see fit. Shit if i know how to fix it. If i had those kind of answers i wouldnt be sitting over here right now. But IMO americans just need to stop living beyond their means. Untill that stops we will continue to have these issues. easy there bruce lee. by play money I don’t mean you’re going to put it all on red @ the roulette table. I should’ve said “high risk” fund. ---

> [@ineedacar](#): > > no freakin way braaa! > > this thread was over before it started. we have been in recession since the year 2000. the U.S. economy has not yet recorded two straight quarters of declining gross domestic product, a traditional indicator of recession. Along with many other traditionally accepted indicators. ---
