We put our money…. into our kids’ cello/violin/piano lessons! Plus all their sports….
Actually, we have an excellent investment guy that takes care of it all for us/with us. I couldnt say at this point – it is more my husband’s fascination (although the more I visit here and the more you post – the more interested in economics – personal and global – that I have become – really… I thank you greatly for your sharing of info – you should be a teacher…). I have not been shopping around for places to put any big lump sum because unlike you, we havent sold our home. I dont think we will either. Luckily things are stable here. Upstate NY grows slowly, not maniacally.
I had been toying with the idea of returning to San Diego – I do love it there and my family is all there. My kids would have instant friends and cousins all in T.Pines, etc, however, this site has changed my views completely. I am thinking sitting safe for a good long while is more to my liking and better for my family. The schools are absolutely amazing – weather cold in winter, but beautiful. Our home is gorgeous, and with the right car and warm clothes, none of the weather factors matter anyway. it is so beautiful that one can get distracted just driving around ones own neighborhood as the seasons change.
