It’s all pointless.

We are aquiring junk… then we die.

I was telling my brother that he buys too much junk. He said it’s not the end-game that counts. It’s the game itself.

We come to this earth with nothing, and we will die with nothing. It’s what we have and use during our lifetimes that count. So he’s determined to have more than most.

That’s a very selfish and wasteful way of looking at life. But that’s the way most folks live.

I’m more zen these days. I try to find happiness and contentment from within (instead of outside trappings). But I also need to assure my own financial security so that I can do what I want.

And in order to do what you want, and influence others, you have to present yourself in a way that people will accept and respect.

Afterall, we live in a tough world. Being well intentioned and happy in not enough. You have to live by the world around you.

It’s all pointless.

Great post, brian. I subscribe this philosophy as well.

scaredy, I have to admit that I have never seen so many overthinkers and agonizers all in one place over a potential RE purchase, who are presumably in the market for either a principal residence or investment property(ies).

If these potential buyers and/or their agents know their area of choice VERY well, there should not be this level of buying hesitation. Since there seems to be, this leads me to believe that these potential buyers and/or their agents are UNfamiliar with their preferred areas, that is, they are NOT able to tell a “good deal” from one they could very well lose equity on after purchase. No offense to any Pigg but this is just my observation.

Many potential buyers seem to be very worried about losing equity after purchase. This chronic worry plus unrealistic expectations in some instances are what’s keeping them on the fence.
