'She' did for about a half hour then I blew 'her' and we got drunk and fucked all day.that was my best bonus ever.

true.

The worst part about the "bonus" is that a percentage of your bonus now is given to you in RSU - restricted stock units.

So last year I was given restricted stock units.. Something like $6500 worth..... Today... It is worth 6,200.
Boom.. Instant depreciation. And the best....... I can not wait to take this LOSS for another 2 years until these RSUs vest. It is a fning JOKE..
Some HR Asswhipe schemer figured out a way to fuck the working man out of a small piece of his bonus....
Fning Banks.

I got $2,000.00, it helps but living in LA, you need about $10,000.00 to feel good about it, but I am happy and thankful for what i got.

Last year I received a savagely amazing christmas bonus of a $50 voucher to spend at a thrift store.

I went to said thrift store and came back with:

A huge stuffed gorilla thing, a combination lock suitcase (still working, combination 000 or 999 - I forget), a picture of jesus, a (used) crystal making kit and a framed picture of winnie the pooh*

I have.. $37 left on the voucher.

*Given to my sister who is one of those genius adult women who seem overly interested in childlike merchandise, you know.. spongebob backpack etc.

Used to be 1% of whatever I made gross each year which was pathetic. (I work in the mortgage business.) So getting $1,000-$1500 each year was better than nothing at all for a 100% commission job with unlimited income potential.

Now since the real estate and mortgage market has tanked, I'm getting jack shit this year.

I decided to get a lower paying salary job to keep the income flowing in. I'll continue to do mortgages part-time until things hopefully pick back up in the next year or so.

That's the very good and very bad aspect of working economy driven occupations. When it's good it's fucking great, when it's bad holy shit does it get bad.

real estate will not recover in the next year or so, hope this helps...

Well, it's a good thing I'm not a realtor. Mortgage applications should continue to increase with each impending Fed rate cut, however. There's too much money not being made between realtors, appraisers, and brokers. It can't stay this way forever.

I do agree that it will take longer than a year or so to for home values to come back.

You can get more value for your home by way of an appraisal for the purpose of a refinance. Selling your home for the value you want is another story.

What's your insightful opinion as to when the real estate market comes back? Or would you just like to reply again with a limited, astounding sentence that ends with"hope this helps"?

Nice contribution to the thread, by the way.....Don't get a headache thinking too hard about your next statement.

Don't worry about my headaches, bro...I have done a fair amount of research.  Three consecutive rate cuts are not going to increase the amount of mortgage applications.  The cuts have been flimsy at best and are very close too historical lows; the proverbial barrel is being scraped.  while the average rate of a loan is going down, mortgage companies are starting to increase the minimum downpayment required (for fear of people foreclosing, which is a sore subject given today's subprime fiasco)...

Renting has never been more attractive.  Inventory is skyrocketing in spite of fed rate decreases.

Long term trends in real estate suggest market trends have a 5 to 15 year cycle.  The last  15 years (1990 to 2005) have seen "irrational exhubarance" or however the phrasing is; so I would speculate the next downturn will either be extremely rapid and last only 3-7 years or more gradual and last around 15 years (using a relative gaussian trend).
Hope this helps

That did. Nice post.

{giggle} Upinthemguts,

are you still looking into pharmaceutical sales?

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

I'm certainly still looking into it. However, I find that the industry caters more to female employees. If you're a male doctor, who would you rather have coming into your office trying to solicit the newest drugs? Some hot blond with a tight skirt and business attire or some dude in a nice suit?

At least that's my take on it anyway.

Ya, but that's a given in any industry.

Actually, a lot of guys that are in the medical field would prefer "some dude" hahah

This may not impact the drug field for the next 30 years or so, but epigenetics will take a HUGE cut out of pharmaceutical sales...
