I was confused by that until I studied the table.

I read that the “number of people per foreclosure” is down, usually by ~50%. That is to say, the number of people stayed constant, and foreclosures doubled.

Wow, grade payments have gone up! In the 80’s, I got $10-20 for an A, nothing for B’s or less. I think my wife got $10’s for A’s, $1 for B’s, and a $100 bonus for straight A’s.

I always figured that going to school is the kid’s job, and it’s fine to pay them for doing it well.

[quote=patientrenter]Isn’t it pretty obvious that California will be getting the money to continue spending mostly from the federal government? Some CA taxes will be increased too, but that will cover way less than half of the shortfall. Spending probably will not even go down at all.[/quote]

So, you expect federal funds for all of the 30-40 states that are in the hole now?

Well, I tend to buy private party Japanese cars with 100k miles for 1/4 their original price, and drive them for the second half of their life. We’re at 209k and 163k right now with no significant breakdowns in a looong time. Last car made it to 222k.

But it depends on what your car is for. In my case, just to get me reliably from A to B with my crap. I’ll put the money we’ve saved into the downpayment late next year 🙂
