[quote=Anonymous]Better off. In 08-09 we were both unemployed and our house was underwater. We have been slowly digging our way out of that but huge health bills for fertility treatment slowed us down. We have managed to pay down our underwater house, even with the health care costs, and we officially switched to "in the black" this year. We still need a couple more years to pay down the house to a point where we could sell without bringing any cash to the table but I feel like we are generally on the right track and improving.

But, I agree with the pp who said the more important question is who do you think will be best for the economy in the next four years. I don't think we need to go back to the policies of the Republicans even though the Democrats haven't taken us as far as I would like. They really dropped the ball on housing, imho. But, any party that would use our credit rating and global economic position as a bargaining tool (I'm thinking of the ridiculous debt ceiling fight here) as a bargaining chit is not responsible enough to lead.[/quote]
