Rightside, how did you get the idea that I regret selling my house? I’ve been bragging about it, and perhaps that’s not so good either. It’s the best financial decision I ever made. The second best was staying out of tech stocks. I feel very confident about my housing move, but lack knowledge about what to do with my profits and retirement portfolio. That’s why I’m trying hard to read, to learn more about the capital markets.
Poway is hot, but we moved here for the schools, which are consistently ranked as the best in San Diego Country. Poway has more open space than any other city in SD County. We have 13,000 open space acres, whereas the other 18 cities combined have 25,000 acres. It’s the City in the Country, and if you’re middle class like me, and can’t afford Torrey Pines schools, then Poway is the next best thing. If I had more money, I would live in one of those good school districts near the coast. But even though now we rent, I will not uproot my kids just be near the coast. Stability of schools is important. Yes, even renters can have stable lives 🙂
As far as berating my financial understanding, I guess I’m fair game. I don’t have all the answers, I readily admit that, so I’m here to learn, as well as to pass on what I’m learning myself. In previous posts, I’ve asked for your opinion, and appreciate the feedback you’ve given me.
You poked some fun at me, so I must ask: What did I write that upset you, that made you come out swinging? Was it my post about Sell Now?
May I suggest that we all behave a little more civil. Let’s stick to attacking ideas, not people.
