Participant[quote=walterwhite]I value ghe door notching at 125/year. No make it 75.00.
Still that adds up over a kids lifetime
shoot in 7 years I’ll be old. Closer to the grave.
875.00 worth of door notchings.
Nothing is priceless in this world.
I wasn’t even the same person 7 years ago.[/quote]
scaredy, trust me when I tell you that you will likely still be around in seven years, even probably traversing your same daily “haunts” with the same folks in tow, lol!
It will all turn out okay :=]

ParticipantI really like sdduuuude’s advice to set a payment – and bank the difference between rent and payment till you get your 20%.
It does 2 things:
– Gets you comfortable with the cash flow you’ll have once you actually do buy.
– Gets your nest egg built up quickly.Too many people underestimate how broke they’ll be when they buy a house beyond their means. this way you know if it’s a stretch or doable -because you’ll have been living with that expense/payment prior to pulling the trigger.

[side discussion hijack]AN, as captcha said, clothing and gear is a one-time expenditure. You can also buy used (most “used” clothing and equipment on CL is only slightly used). For growing children under the age of 14, it is wisest to rent their gear if you don’t live near any skiing, and buy their clothing used off CL or e-bay.If you’re not purchasing new clothing and/or gear at the Del Mar Fairgrounds ski-blowout sale (previous-year models) in August or the Sports Chalet Labor Day Weekend sale (all over CA), you’re paying way too much.
Think “ski gear” when its hot outside :=)[/quote]
What’s the likelihood of someone having HH income of >$180k and looking for a $500k house be buying used clothing? Secondly, clothing is not a one time thing. At least for most people.You don’t have to tell me about deals. You can get much cheaper deals online than any of these local shows or store. But they still cost a lot of money in comparison to other sports. There are not a lot of other sports that is more expensive, even if you live in the area.
