That is one major change I've seen over the last few years. People are more likely to buy economically today. Many have learned a few lessons or were conservative from the start. I still get the calls once in a while from someone with three nickels that thinks they should buy a home.

I'm also happy to report I have a friend who I have HOOKED on THINKING about money and investing. He's turned the corner in a matter of a few short weeks and I know it will positively affect him for the rest of his life. Feels good to spread the knowledge!
History always repeats itself. I've already seen some noise of sub prime loans. There is always a hare waiting in the wings.
