What’s crystal clear here, flu is that you did not read my most recent post. If you had, you would have known that my short discussion of the PROGENY of Prop 13, in response to YOUR post was just a couple of paragraphs of it. Instead, you are back to taking 6++ paragraphs to insult me instead of reading, learning and realizing that what I have to contribute here is valuable and actually relevant to the topic of this thread and in response to your (partly gibberish) as well as false and misleading post.
In short, your post was ignorant and you’ve been posting by the seat of your pants lately with mostly gibberish, thinking that the more you insult me here, the more you’re going to be able to somehow destroy my credibility.
The truth is, you’ve spent years here creating threads about your various refi, HELOC and/or cash-out adventures on your primary residence. Even though thru reading all your “refi threads” over the years, ad nauseam, my first thought was, “Jeebus, another refi? Why, flu? Is it really `worth it'” …. I said nothing. I never tried to insult you on how foolish I thought you were or anything of the kind. You have now taken it upon yourself in recent days to rail on me for not refi-ing my residence and it’s really none of your business.
You’ve been using both of these threads to claim that a retiree should have “fixed” expenses in your opinion and that the same recipe applies to everyone, even though you have been told otherwise by another poster (an “expert” in mortgage lending, I might add), who has also stated here that they feel it is “inappropriate” for one poster to advise another poster on financial issues who is in different life stage than they are.
In short, instead of contributing to the board, you recent posts to me of late don’t address anything I posted and are instead insulting, bullying, boorish, self-serving and contribute absolutely nothing to the forum.
flu, you’re so ignorant about some issues (in this case, CA property tax laws) that you can’t even acknowledge when another poster points out (with proof) that you’ve posted something which is false and/or misleading. That’s sad.
