Does the auto industry affect you?

well I am biting the bullit. seems I don't have enough time to retire and to much invested to walk away. God willing I will be here till they shut the lights off or I have to bail out our dingy...which ever comes first.

My intention was always to be the one turning out the lights.

We are definately seeing it at my shop. We build plastic molds for various auto companies. Last week we had 30 guys working 12 hrs a day 6 - 7 days a well, this week we have 10 guys still on to finish what little work we do have and then its complete shutdown for who knows how long.

My wife lost her job as a mortagage closer about 3 months ago and the only thing keeping us going so far was the rediculous amount of overtime that I was getting. Now that my work schedule has been slashed we are in a very bad situation.
