$500k and 33years old, when is enough enough?

[scaredyclassic]

A ggod life is much more than a good deal. This is another sense in which buying a house is like getting married. Shr could be real pretty or real smart or whatever and still be a really bad idea. The timing must be tight, the connection must be right. It’s not an objective kind of thing in many ways. That’s why my shared room in that coed fraternity was a botching housing situation compared to say that fancy studio apt I was in myself

[quote=jstoesz]Dooh, snow and a cold climate is nothing. You use it to your advantage. In MN I loved going to our cabin (something you can easily afford in the MN) on a -30 deg day, roaring up the wood stove, and when I got the courage and sunk in the warmth walking out onto the frozen lake and drinking in the cold. There is nothing like seasons. It makes you realize nature. You don’t fear the seasons, you adapt. It makes the sun more vibrant and the 80 deg summer lake more soothing.

Weather is easily mitigated with an opportunistic disposition.[/quote]

My brother and cousin love the seasons and won’t give it up.

I’ve been living along the coast for a couple of years now. I don’t know if it’s just me, but seems like our weather along the coast has really sucked, especially this year. It’s been overcast almost every day. Now it’s raining. Everyone says we have great weather, but if you lived along the coast, this year was the worst. Every once in a while I had to remind myself that I was in SD and not SF or Maine or Seattle. I remember being at the beach in my bikini in December. I don’t know what’s going on w/the weather, but this year is not the year I’d rave about SD’s great weather. Yes, it doesn’t snow. But we lacked sun along the coast big time.

“I propose to take an income no greater than $50,000 per annum!”

Andrew Carnegie, 1868 (33 years old)

“Beyond this I need ever earn, make no effort to increase my fortune, but spend the surplus each year for benevolent purposes! Let us cast aside business forever, except for others.”

40 years later, he was the richest man in America.

But he did give much of it away.

I’ve lived on the beach for a year, lived down town for 2, and put 5 years working in point Loma.

San Diego beaches stink, no really they stink. The musty smell hits you like a ton of bricks when entering homes 1-2 blocks from the surf.

9 months out of the year the water is too cold to go in or fish in. I put a GPS on my boat because well, “in San Diego you have to run a radar or GPS because of the fog layer”

If your not socked in fog in the AM you have the coastal layer to deal with most of he day. I think living on the beach is not the ideal, but only a pipe dream that folks make up in thief heads. The reality is colder days and cloudy days that block out the sun.

2-3 months in the summer is prime… If your parking spot doesn’t get stolen. Living on the SD beach was fun for 6 months until reality set in. Its not the tropical paradise that people make up in thier heads.
