What are you going to do with you’re gov. rebate check next month?

[Coronita]

Dearest Flu,
You make too many arguments out of the silence. You have no idea of my charitable giving contributions and or the percentage the rebate check is of that per annum.

 

Yup, you figured me out. What arguments, what insight. You make a statement about self righteousnous that folks here never claimed to be. You're judge people , And if I were guessing, I'd say you probably are one of those hypocritical religious freaks that love to shove that "value system" right up other people's asses while you live by however the hell you want (except I would be offending the real of the pious people who live up to what they believe).

I assure you my donations were generous last year, both to needy and subprime folks in terms of tax dollars. But nevertheless you're missing the point. (1) Gov can't be affording to do this. (2) A hell of lot of americans spend beyond their means. Add the two together you get more irresponsible spending and a delayed more-indebtness that we don't necessarily need to pay, but our lucky future generations do. This is borrowed money (and to some extend) borrowed money from China.

Perhaps you're one of those baby boomers that are only thinking about yourself and what you need when you're hobbling around in your Depend garments and don't give a shit about every other generation that comes after you. Ok fine, that's great, I come to accept to short of selfishness that permeates among some Americans. Some of us do care about where our tax dollars goes, even if it's a few hundred, few thousands, or however amount.

 

 

Let me get this straight, if someone makes a purchase that seems ostentation to you, then they have no ability to have a social justice meter?…Also, did you skip logic or philosophy in community college.

 

 

I hardly call spending $1200 or $2000 landscaping being ostentatious. But whatever floats your boat.

Anyway, I'm was trying to follow your logic of how disagreeing with the way gov is spending the rebate or being a little irritated with the gov's irresponsibility is some how linked to an apathy for 100million of people starving that you so suggested. And though I normally wouldn't have made any comments about "community college educated" people (because there are plenty of people I have come across with JC education with fascinating experiences)… you do seem to be doing a pretty good job demonstrating the stereotype community college dropout that you so describe here.

 

I think Warren Buffet speaks to that issue. What about Bill Gates. Both spend the kind of money you will never see on dispensable items, yet makes massive contributions.

 

 

I would agree there. I admire both of them (aside from Microsoft stomping itself on innovation and Balmer deciding to purchase Yahoo at an unbelievable overpriced price). But, no offense, you're not exactly Buffet/Gates material.

 

 

Spend some time looking in the mirror and get back to me. Also, did you skip logic or philosophy in community college.

 

Yes, I must have missed those philosophy classes in those community colleges when i was in 8th and 9th grade. Were you the 30 year old guy asking me how to light the bunsen burner in that Chemistry 101 class i took in the summer?

 

Your thoughts are as thick as soup. By the way, do you do anything else beside give opinions? Your post are quite prolific, I have to give you that.

Poo poo. I'm going back to bed. Wah wah wah.

 

Happy gardening, and good luck with that short sale 🙂

“So am I understanding this. Most all of you who have answered this thread make over $150k and you can’t afford to buy a house,”

Make no mistake 92024, I absolutely can afford to buy a house, I CHOSE not to because it would have been a stupid finacial decision when I moved to LA in 2006. I seriously considered it for a few months, then canned the idea when I saw what $750,000 or so bought in the LA south bay.

Ous self-rightous BS as you put it, is the natural reaction we have when we watch overpriced houses come back to a more realistic price, and listening to all the whining coming from people who presented themselves as the greatest financial minds of our time because they “invested” in the housing bubble.

And I never said anyone was a loser because they weren’t getting the refund, I just said I wouldn’t want to trade places with them. I wouldn’t want to be an FB either, which is why I didn’t buy.

Hey Flu,
I won’t have a short sale, cause I have 100% financing. I am going to just send the keys back to the bank. No harm no foul.
P.S.
Don’t poke the tiger

Navy,
That is understandable. I just think if you read this entire thread through there is either a lot of satire, or a ton of B.S. It was just odd to see a website for the “landed poor” so full of people making incomes in the top 3% globally complaining.

I used the recent temporary rally in the dollar, matched the $1800 check with my own money and sent it all to my account in Europe and invested there. This is my hedge against Helicopter Ben, and the worst-case scenario of bank/FDIC failures (plus one of the best save investment I had during last 5 years). I understand that this is not a very patriotic solution, but the crap on the Fed and banks balance sheets, sending rebates, housing bailouts, inflation Ex-inflation, etc. tells me that more pain (for savers) and money printing may come. Restore Paul Volker or hike interest rates and I’ll start saving $ again.
