is odd is how Oklahoma is definitely showing what Forbes magazine predicted was true in the current ecomonical times for this state, and that would be this state is the most recession-proof in the US. I didn't believe that story when it was first published, but maybe it is true after all.

According to local news reports Oklahomans arent losing their retirement accounts like others on the East/West coasts. Oklahoma major financial institutions have zero interests with those on the coasts - and the housing market here is not a bust, but on the rise. Employment is unaffected, but there is a rise in jobs in the energy sector (Specifically wind energy and natural gas). Add to that the average price for a gallon of gas is less $3.00 statewide (I've seen plenty of places between $2.50-$2.77 a gallon)

I checked my retirement fund, and it is unaffected by the current financial stupidity going on in this country, and like all the men in my family, I will either work until I die or die before I retire.
