Forum:SH Archive/Dave Dorman on CNN

Hi All

I'm not really sure how to put this up but i just wanted to let you know I was reading a CNN article on the economy and of all people the renowned Star War artist, Dave Dorman came up!

Here is the link: http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/01/22/recession.consumer.ap/index.html

And here is the mention in the article

Denise Dorman, who runs an advertising and public relations agency in Geneva, Illinois, decided not to replace her 12-year-old vehicle, a Jeep Grand Cherokee with 125,000 miles on it, to avoid taking on a car payment.

She and her husband Dave, a commercial artist known for his Star Wars illustrations, also are "aggressively paying off credit card debt." And Dorman is seeking new opportunities to expand her business, perhaps into growth areas such as video-gaming.

"I'll feel a lot more comfortable when our debt is paid down and business has picked up," she said.

The couple experienced the downturn in the housing market firsthand as it took them 18 months to sell their former home in Florida. They've also become increasingly aware of the nation's deepening economic malaise from news reports and the presidential election debates.

"Altogether, it made us rethink what we're doing financially," she said.
