I seen this issue coming with the company at least eight years ago and made financial decisions accordingly. We have been debt free now for six years and now being myself 55 and unemployed I am so glad we were able to do that. I have an AAS in my chosen field (Electronics Technology) and 14 years of experience and I have not been able to find a job of any kind since 10/30/08. My wife is still employed and we are blessed financially. I would say becoming debt free is real good advice in this present economic environment.

Sounds like you made some very wise choices Cary! I wish I would have been smart enough to do that myself. Good luck with finding a job...surely things will turn around sooner or later and open up some opportunities.
