Already did – bought an apartment in 2009 🙂 Though buying isn’t necessarily the best thing in NY since rental cap tends to be 3-6% — i.e. you may be better off buying a rental in NJ and using it to pay your rent in NY. There’s no stigma in renting nor a huge push to become a homeowner.
NY is money-concerned, but in a very different way than San Diego. And at this point, I’m only interested in one person, so meeting someone isn’t an issue.
My point is that inflation doesn’t make a robust economy. It makes for slavery plain and simple. What’s been created over the past ~3 years is a false “rally” due to inflation, not a real recovery.
You’re correct. Not participating 100% is a choice, and one I have. I DON’T think it’s a choice for the majority of Americans, unfortunately. It’s either “get a job” and accept the 2 wks of vacation on bended knees, or not have an income.
