Just reading the tea leaves and WSJ:

“Housing remains a disaster. Foreclosures rose again last month. Banks took over another 93,000 homes in July, says foreclosure specialist RealtyTrac. That’s a rise of 9% from June and just shy of May’s record. We’re heading for 1 million foreclosures this year, RealtyTrac says. And naturally the ripple effects hurt all those homeowners not in foreclosure, by driving down prices. See deflation (No. 4) above.”

Frankly, I am not sure of much anymore, but I still think the prices are too high here in Socal.

This ‘go do whatever you want’ attitude doesn’t work in marriage. And it certainly doesn’t work on something as huge as buying a house. It is a team effort. Neither one of you will be happy. But I’m not sure you’ll ever be happy in any scenario.

Work on it until some mutual decision can be made that looks fairly interesting to both parties. Try to be sounding boards for each other on the goal of a purchase until you agree.

Then his mom died…His father remarried someone half his age. Though she wasn’t necessarily a gold-digging spend-like-there’s-no-tomorrow, she obviously needed to be well kept. A year later, his dad died too. Guess were most of that hard earned/saved money went?

Morale of the story. If you pass away, chances are your spouse will remarry. Why should you make it easy for your spouse’s future significant other to enjoy what you should have enjoyed yourself.

This is not at all a typical scenario, I think. In general, when a widow(er)s contemplate a 2nd marriage, they will ensure through wills and prenups that their children will inherit most or all of the estate.

So the whole just-spend-it-or-else-someone-unworthy-will is suspect.
