How is the economy affecting you?

I can't seem to sell a policy.

I mean, I do, here and there, but not like I used to years ago.

I was doing 20 sales average a week.

Now, I'm lucky if I can sell 20 in a month.

Ever since they put credit into the insurance rating equasion, my rates are out of hand.

Unless you have have good credit, I don't have a decent rate.

A large majority of people do not have good or even fair credit.

Inflation has directly affected me.

Everything is going up, my paycheck is staying the same.

I find myself getting broker and borker about every 6 months or so.

Even with the past 2 raises.

With all the talk on how bad it is, I will not even concider looking for another job. I'm sticknig it out right here.

I have SOME faith in the future. Not a lot, a little. Maybe that's too much? :erm

Damn. Things might be worse than I thought.

I wonder if things will turn around, or if the worst is yet to come.

I'm doing ok and I'll be doing much better once the credit card is paid off. That's my largest financial burden right now.

So, the bad Michigan economy is not affecting me, really. Ann Arbor is surrounded by a reality distortion field. Sometimes it works in my favor.
