Survey Says!
Last week's CyberPoll focused on financial expectations for next year. Overall, respondents expect to be better off in 2010 (31.5% by a little and 21.1% by a lot). The same number (23.7%) expect to be about the same financially as those who think they'll be worse off. Comments included: "As long as the government continues its 'Sherman's March' through the private sector and threatens tax increases and inflation, we will continue on our decline." And "Our small business is seeing contract renewals for 2010 and beyond. We're also acquiring new customers. Business is starting to take off again (in spite of poor behavior on the part of many banks and credit card issuers who seem
determined to undermine economic recovery with their 'usury-type' interest rates and exorbitant fees)." Follow this link to read additional comments, or to add some of your own. |
