As the market crashes and burns the divorce rate is going through the roof!

I`ve never seen it so bad in my entire life! I`m 50 years old, i`ve seen Families Come Apart  couples separate or divorce at an alarming rate. They`re fighting over money issues! Let`s be honest when "times are good" we love and laugh, we enjoy life and what it offers. many of us have raised  our families never really knowing or understanding the "good times" would one day end. We were on a euphoric high for 20 years, enjoying our lavish lifestyles.

In some ways it`s like the "last days of the Roman Empire!

Suddenly, were all faced with the reality the good times may never be the same and the problems of finance are taken it`s toll on everyone.

Here are 3 "Real Life Stories" of the how Real Estate Crisis is destroying the entire core of our nation!

 Case #1: Yesterday, I took my daughter to Denny`s. Our waiter who was only 18 years old started talking to us about his parents. His family is losing their home to foreclosure, Dad moved in with his Mother, unable to work any longer,while Mom can`t pay the bills. He`s a caught in between. Too be this young and experience what he`s going through is heart breaking.     

Case #2:Stock Broker and Trophy Wife: 2 months ago am at a listing appointment where the husband once was on the "top of the world" great home, a Mercedes and a BMW! The kids were at a fancy New York State Summer camp, and the Stock Brokerage files for Bankruptcy!

Good Bye great world hello reality. Husband seems to be explaining to Trophy Wife that we need to "Scale Back" and regroup, wife wants Nothing to do with this utter nonsense, after 18 years of a fantasy Life, she doesn`t want to to end, so it`s much easier to file for Divorce.

In front of me she tell~s how  Hubby is is a "LOSER", nice huh? The guy worked his arse off for this Princess....The Prince becomes a frog and she wants to bail...

Case#3: After working together for a piece of "The American Pie" i received a call from a former client asking me to "Sell" their home. Apparently, the home is upside and rather than attempt to keep it, the husband blames the wife, she blames him and in a flash moves out of the house with the kids and moves in with her new boyfriend.

Hubby is left in shock, unable to grasp the situation. Can`t say I blame him!

The media would never really report how much this is affecting our nation. It`s painful to say the least seeing this each and everyday.

In years to come I`m sure they`ll release the numbers of divorce rates throughout our country, am positive it`s staggering!

I miss the "GOOD TIMES!"
