I wonder how many men stay in a marriage because they know if they leave the wife will take half? I think that the wife is more likely to leave because she knows she will get half.

Either way, half of what you had as a married couple is always going to be less than what you had. People are bitter because BOTH people lose.

True affordability comes in the form of lower prices, not gimmicky mortgages or public grants which actually serve to keep prices high and entirely UN-affordable.

The very best thing that could happen to “poor people” is massive deflation of housing prices that leave enough money (after paying for housing costs) to allocate toward education, retirement funding and (gasp!) discretionary income.

A primary house is an EXPENSE, it is not “The American Dream.” The American Dream is the ability to improve one’s lot in life and end up in a better situation than where you started.

I’m a liberal, economically-speaking, and am totally opposed to anything that serves to prop up prices so they remain unaffordable to the working class.

Rustico,

What a truly wonderful post, and I couldn’t agree more.

Having kids is a **full-time** job, and is more work than most outside jobs. However, it is also one of the most fulfilling things a person can ever experience — and you will only understand this if you actually have (and take care of!!!) your own children.

There are people who like to be selfish and not have anyone inconvenience them. They should probably not get married and definitely should not have kids. The entirely of your universe changes when forming familes, and for those who are unwilling to “go with it,” the shift can be brutal, which is probably why children are considered “stress factors” in a marriage — they truly are, if you’re not willing to be totally selfless and considerate of others.

For those who don’t want to get married/have kids, don’t do it. Why do these people (mostly men) feel they have to convert everyone to their anti-marriage/anti-children religion? Just don’t do it and be done with it. My only complaint would be about those who feel this way but fail to tell their dates and waste everyone’s time and energy on a failed relationship. Be honest, tell your date(s) that you don’t intend to get married or have children, and let her make the choice to continue to date you. Otherwise, you’re being deceptive, which is wrong in any dating/mating situation.

Personally, I think most people should be brutally honest on their first dates. Just get everything on the table and let people make informed decisions about what to expect and whether or not they want to pursue a relationship.

Wow. I’ve been around real estate all my life (broker/investor parents) and never knew this. That is very important information for everyone to know.

When I’ve bought before though (near the bottom), the tax was based on my purchase price, so wondering if it’s not REO-specific????
