I am afraid.

“no. i’m in for the long haul. no b.s 3.5% down. i will never walk. i will die in this f**king place. bury me in the backyard”

Dude, you clearly have the will – have faith that no matter what happens, you will find a way.

Analyst,you are right, OP asked for something helpful and we shouldn’t take advantage of the situation to spread our own versions of the Gospel :

“Anything you can say to calm me down would be profoundly appreciated. ”

However, how does this help in calming him down :

“This is not idle commentary on my part. All my San Diego property is owned without debt, meaning it is no struggle to hold on to it. I just listed it for sale. My judgment is that in the coming years, mid-market and higher properties will decline in value by an amount significantly greater than the cost of selling it (7 or 8 percent).”

I just dont’ see how slipping in a story about how easy you have it owning property and how you are about to sell while he is about to buy and he is clearly worried about the aftermath goes towards what the OP asked for.

ah well, i am beyond calming words anyway. screw it all, screw the downturn, screw the future, screw the savings. . with 20% down the payment is the exact same as the rent we’ve paid for the last 4 years, and the rent payment has seemed very small. we;re not really stretching, we’re just starting over savings wise.

actually that’s not even true, it’s just a very large chunk of our savings. a majority sized chunk that hurts my stomach.

my wife was offered a job for a couple hundred k a few years back and turned it down to “nurture the children”, but works part time and does pretty well. she could easily cover it if she ever worked full time we will (probably) easily make it. Nothing I have ever worried about in life has ever actually been a problem, it’s only the things I failed to worry about that have given some difficulty. and nothing too bad has ever happened. i doubt something this petty would be the thing to break my streak!

so look, let’s say 10 years form now, the place is down 20%. you know what? I wouldn’t care. Honestly, I wouldn’t, as long as there weren’t some compelling reason I had to move. that’s the only nub of worry.

still, i believe there is an outside chance it’ll be down more than 20% in 10 years. just very unlikely. seems hard to believe that the govt won’t just start sending cash or adding zero’s to bills with a magic marker before that happens.

for some odd reason…

I am not afraid.

should that make me afraid?

Your full of shit.

You would not be posting looking for emotional support if you were not afraid.

Fear is an emotion as old as humanity and serves a very practical purpose.

Fear is why you look both ways before crossing the road. Which is not considered irrational.

What you are doing is crossing the road when you know very well it’s not safe to cross because you see, what you consider, the promise land on the other side. With lots of people telling you to cross for their own reasons.

You know what the road looks like.

The question is do you feel lucky?
