About Patrick Butterfield
He's no fan of Realtors. As a group, that is. Or politicans. Or most economists.
Himself, he's a sagittarius, a free-thinker, and a libertarian. He's built a comfortable lifestyle through success with varius investments.
He is worried for this Country: the effects of a 30 years or so of living beyond our means are starting to be felt. Attitudes towards debt and spending are changing, perhaps for a generation. Large, structural changes will take place as our economic infrastructure adapts to this new normal. The time is now to be present and to be involved.
