I agree with fayroe as here in this neighborhood and consists of wealthy northerners who moved here to save money in their golden years. Discussions outside are based on the fact that we in a way are lucky as we can walk to grocery stores, pharmacies, and other stores. No vacations this year gas is too expensive. One vehicle sit in the drive as too expensive to drive. Even the good will is empty as folks are making do. Since we do ebay the trend is most sales are to Canada, Australia, Spain, And other European countries. I've had to give up my therapist as can't afford her and cant afford meds or seeing the doc as my other disc is slipped but my Disability is only 800 a month and I can't afford a doc. I never charged until now and had to charge shampoo how humiliating. My Daughter is a manager in training for a chain beauty store and she said daily they are turning away folks who are begging for parttime work with Masters Degress. Layoffs just heard 6000 laid off from Starbucks alone. And Charlotte is supposed to be in better shape than the rest of the US. But since people can't sell to move South finished houses sit empty. It is a serious situation here. They are saying old money in Charlotte is what is keeping it going. That's it. No jobs available even the medical field is cutting salaries and laying off and giving medical workers heavier patient loads not safe. Phillipa.
