    The one you stuck in your fucking yapper by thinking that housing prices in CA or NY have any fucking bearing at all anywhere else in the country, you dumb fuck.

    You"re jaded, and clearly dumb as shit. You wanna come in here and judge me and everyone else and you know fuck all about anything, apparently. You wanna know what 245k bought me? 2500 sq ft, 5 bed, 3 bath, on almost a full acre, on a lake, corner lot, with a in ground 20x40 foot pool...

    No, what was sub optimal financially was renting for 10 fucking years while the housing bubble happened. I SHOULD have bought a house (much like my own) for 110k in 2000 when my household was making 40k a year rather than doing what I did, which was try to get a decent sized down payment...

    The perils of home ownership? I"m not being responsible because I chose to throw down 10k instead of 50k? That"s fucking ridiculous. Especially because they"ll give you a loan with 10k. Renting is fucking retarded in this market. Actually, renting is fucking retarded in most markets. You"re...

    Where did I say it was anyone"s fault? If you think kids are better off in an apartment environment, with all it entails (neighbors of ill repute, drugs in the complex, etc) over having a suburban house in an established neighborhood with a yard and pets and parks and sidewalks and shit, I...

    Well, I dunno about you, but every apartment I"ve lived in smelled like fucking weed every weekend and most evenings. And this was in the suburbs too, wasn"t a fucking inner city place. Low rent = people who can afford low rent. Don"t forget it. I"ll take my lot in an established neighborhood...

    To be fair, nothing of the sort has been going on around here for a couple months now, but it"s not anything close to what you guys would wish on me. Week after the kid was born, wife passed a pretty giant clot, which equals emergency room trip. Uterus not cooperating, piece of placenta left...

    Unless you have 20%, you"re not entitled to LOL free money low interest rates. Save up 50k and in 10 years when the interest rates are back to 35%, that"s the smart time to buy. See, my beef with Cad is his fucking genuine inability to realize that most of the world didn"t have the benefits...

    And almost by definition, people with an FHA loan (which is what we"re talking about) put down 3.5%. Don"t be a cunt for the sake of being a cunt. We all know you"re better off than everyone else, no reason to shit all over everyone who had to get an FHA to make shit work.

    My wife asked my mortgage guy earlier in the year about refinancing, we"re at a 5.5 right now, FHA loan, and he said the problem is that the rules for PMI changed and that went up on all new loans. A good chunk of the money I"d save refinancing would go towards higher PMI, and he basically said...

    You"ll find a ton of those if you"re looking at foreclosures specifically. Not necessarily mess in the same way, but a lot of them are complete shitpiles. The upside is that you should have some extra cash to throw at them because of how cheap they are, but it entirely depends on how much of a...

    1) No. The bank drops the price until they get action on the house. No offers at 150? Lets try 140 then. No dice? Keep dropping it until they see some offers coming in. 2) The bank wasn"t real keen on my lowball attempt. I"d offer the list price. If it doesn"t get any offers at that price...

    Yeah, no one ever fucks off in college. The point is that EQ brought this board into existence, made it what it was, and that"s a solid timestamp. Most of the people playing MMO"s then were high school/college age and could afford the timesink that EQ created. When your basic camp was 8+...

    EQ came out in what, 98 or 99? That was 12 or 13 years ago, most of us were in our late teens/early 20"s then, because that"s the demographic that got reeled into EQ with our no responsibilities life. The core group of this board should be AT LEAST low 30"s by now.

    Eh, not really. I worked for a chip fab many years ago that paid quarterly bonuses.

Then when they cut...
