– Found this site during my MBA research days where an opposite position to the market was impossible to find.
– Confirmation that I wasn’t alone seeing some of the insanity and signs that the RE status quo can’t continue
– Got bragging rights when I was sharing my forecast with my then girlfriend (now wife) that house prices will collapse. She even reminds me now that I was right thanks to Rich’s research/site.
– Purchased my house during the best time, 2010 as a short sale, in a great location and just about doubled in value as of now.
– I became more financial savvy and learn with everyone sharing content here that big mistakes take years to fix.
– I found my broker (HLS) via Piggington
– I remember the 1 or 2 meetings when Piggs met in person 😉
– I significantly increased my net worth above my expectations (but on plan), and do plan on retiring at 55 (…..I have 11 years to go).
