[quote=waiting hawk][quote=temeculaguy]BTW, no offense, but that is a pretty overdone story. I think we geeks who rode out the bubble in rentals and resisted peer pressure and stigma because we are math geeks, we are a much more interesting story for the PBS demographic. Actually, we are the PBS demographic, nevermind.[/quote]

I always sucked at math, still do. 😉
Peer pressure? I was never cool enough to hang with the “it” crowd so when they moved on to McMansions, boats, big time cars, vacations and spa treatments I just figured it was me being excluded again. That or my poor math skills, I could never figure out how they were making the payments and finances work no matter how many times I ran the numbers.
However common sense and depression parents probably had more to do with ‘bubble avoidance’ than any thing else. The early indoctrination of avoidance of debt and the ability to understand basic income/outgo was priceless.
Not much of a PBS watcher anymore either. Once Nightly Business report is off I’m done.
But that probably has more to me with me being an old guy falling asleep on the couch.
