positive thinking: Tears don't replace planning...you will be homeless in 3 weeks - 01/25/08 07:49 PM
Ok...Talking to people in foreclosure will change your attitude. Years ago, when I opened an auto shop close to a senior gated community and a limited care nursing facility, I had no choice but to acknowledge what getting older would mean to me. Your whole attitude has to be impacted.
