I've done it. After years of chafing under my cell phone service provider, I have successfully ditched Ma Bell, and moved to Credo. What's Credo? Credo is the new name for Working Assets, the Ralph Nader greenie phone company. After trying to move to them for years, they've finally got a great offer that gets me a smartphone (Blackberry 8330) and buys me out of my ATT contract. Check it out at: www.credo.com/specialvalue.
Work has slowed down. It's slowed down so much I'm considering evaluating my investment portfolio. And that hasn't happened in years. Call me a Cassandra, but I'm wishing I could remove all my retirement money from the market and use it to pay off my mortgage. The tax implications would be horrendous. Still, the banking situation has me more than a little bit freaked out. Doesn't it seem strange that, now that the government is done bailing out the banks, that the banks are now shoring up the FDIC? Sure, just a measly 45 billion. But still. It's sortof like robbing Peter to pay Paul, and then turning around and robbing Paul to pay Peter. Kindof like the entire banking infrastructure is just a big fat Ponzi scheme.
freaky.
