sdcellar, my parents are not the only one that bought around that time. I know many who can easily pay it off at any moment if they wanted to since they bought it for mid 100k 18 years ago.
I agree dentist might get squeeze, especially since most don’t even take advantage of dental insurance even when they have them. But some how, I think optometrist still have clients even if they don’t have insurance. As a glasses wearer, my prescription periodically change and I NEED to go in and get new one. It’s quite unsafe to drive when your vision is blurry. Kids prescription tend to change much more rapidly as well which make it hard not to bring them in every year for a new prescription. For all those contacts wearer, they can’t buy anymore contacts after a year since it expire after that and they’d have to go in and get a new one.
JWM, I agree with your last post. They will be affected IF those company are financially affected. I think if it gets to that point, then we might see houses penny on the dollar since we all would be worrying about food instead of shelter. We can live w/out shelter but we can’t live w/out food. I do acknowledge that there’s a possibility for a recession but I’m still skeptical about a depression or worse. Only time will tell.
