Let's say you made $100,000 a year for the last few years. You have based your whole lifestyle on this number. The next year you make $13,000 LESS. (or $87,000)
All of a sudden, you're more than $1,000 a month short of what you're used to making.


Now take your friend/relative/neighbor ,what ever, and they have a lifestyle based on $70,000 a year. This year they make 7% more....or aprox $75,000.

Who is in a better position???? Who has to make cuts??


One more:

Your favorite baseball team has the best record, but is in the midst of a 10 game losing streak.....the 2nd place team is only a few games behind but is enjoying a 10 game winning streak with over half the season to go (and their best pitcher is coming off the disabled list [representing incentives that GM is now offering]).....which position would you rather be in?

Surely you can grasp this.



On a side note, expect some HUGE incentives by Ford to try to hang on with a 4 year old truck.
