The key, in my opinion, to not worrying about the economy is to have a skill and be out of debt.

I don't figure a house and land into the debt scheme, especially if you have some equity. Credit cards, cars, tractors, boats and home equity loans are what bring you down.

If things go belly up, I'm selling the house for whatever I can get, ditching a car, moving to the cabin and ply my trade in the country even if I get paid in chickens and tomatos.

But I'm keeping the tractor!

Oh, and congrats to Messicks. Always good to hear good people doing well.
