ParticipantAlways interesting how they time big stories. All of the ones I’ve seen pertaining to the downgrade were posted well, well after the trading bell rang today.
Makes you wonder if traders knew ahead of time on Thursday the downgrade was imminent….

ParticipantBG, speaking from experience, I can say that a SFR is a huge quality of life win over a condo. I grew up in an SFR. And, my first house was in a 32 unit complex. Two awful nieghbors. And got worse from there.
But, ultimately, I’ll back out and say, there are condo complexes where people are very happy. I have friends who have great condos…..
Its about making a choice and going with it. If you’re young, you have the option of chaning your mind later and moving. If you’re older, like me, you have to try really hard to anticipate where you’re going in life, and choose wisely.
Wishing you the best of luck BG!

ParticipantWalt – keeping your kid/s on track academically is a constant battle for some. Our 18 year old fought his way through HS and had no chance of getting into a university right off the bat. But, he really wants to go to college. So, he’s in community college and as soon as humanly possible he’ll transfer over to a univ. But, he needed a lot of coaching and prodding. And, he had some challenges (English was a second language, went to an academically tough HS, and wasn’t particularly great with math and the hard sciences…). But, we are glad that he has the drive and initiative to keep pressing forward.
Like a 7 10 split, we just recently had another child (now 4 months old) and will be starting all over again.
Reasons to have children? Its not for everyone – if you can’t do without your freedom, autonomy, and sleep, then maybe kids aren’t in your future.
A quote from Cosby – Having a baby is one of the most wonderfully irrational things a couple can do….
Someone I discussed it with (a woman) told me, its 80% work, 20% fun. She was an accountant, so I didn’t challenge her percentages – figured that as a mother and and accountant, she’d be right on the money with her figures.
But, if you desperately want children in your life, and can make time and money to raise them, you’ll love it and be glad you did. Plus, with any luck, you’ll have someone to help look after your sorry ass when you become and old geezer (maybe the most compelling reason – self interest 😀 )Parent-On with your bad selves….

June 15, 2011 at 8:53 AM in reply to: Robert Shiller – home prices could slide for 20 years? #703628ParticipantShiller clarifies, but still underscores “Could”…
Interesting article. Shiller has books he’s trying to sell by the way. He does mention one of them in the interview. Promoting his book to some degree…
But, its interesting to listen to Robert’s interviews….
