PSeller – How do you send your address to Rich? Is there a link on here somewhere I am have not had time to find???
Anyhow, had to chime in here and reiterate that my family is one such as you mention. We make a very good living, but giving it all to a house was not what we wanted. Living in upstate NY has changed everything for us. I do miss those beaches – but for a few thousand, we spend our entire summer in San Diego with family.
Literally 95% of my friends that stayed in San Diego had their parents pay for all or most of their home. Either outright, or by giving them a significant downpayment amount to make the payment affordable given their income (which is really not much for average 30 somethings)…
OT – My littlest son has discovered the magical world of underarm farts (taught by his best friend). I told him it was rude and he asked if it was okay if he does them in his bedroom with the door closed. I said sure. Now as I am trying to type, all I can hear is hysterical laughter and the occasional “OH, escuuse me! I couldnt contwol that!” more laughing… and “Pardon me! Dat was a gwoss one!” laugh laugh laugh… It is the little things in life….glad I am home to hear it because if we had moved back to San Diego – I wouldnt be – I’d be working to pay for the nieghborhood/schools we desire.
