Participant‘you never stop learning’ is a nice way of saying you never stop making mistakes…
the non californian ideas about california and it’s people are funny… every californian owns a gun is not one i’ve ever heard before… liberal california, sure, but then you go into an area like el cajon or the inland empire and it’s like you’re back in arkansas.
what other gems of canadian wisdom about california are there?
and yeah, getting burned on a car is huge when you’re making jack squat. you’re investing in your future, you’re investing future income because a car = employment. if your car breaks down, you have no car. if your home breaks down, you can still live in it.

Participantwhile 65 is the official retirement age, you can still work beyond. how many of the boomers can actually afford to retire… and because they’re.. well, still alive, they need the stuff that goes with living. somebody has to pay for it, whether ss, relatives, 401, whatever, they’re not just going to go homeless.
i have a feeling my folks (my dad anyway) will work (and spend) till he keels over. because they have to. afterwards, their property goes liquid and dumps back into the system…

Participantsure. if home prices maintained or continued inflating, it’d be great. you’d be a paper millionaire without having lifted a finger. how great is that? college grads, kids who are just joining the work force… meh. screw em. push them out to temecula or alpine or borrego and make them commute. make them drive 2 to 4 hours a day in order to come in and work serving the equityaires. they’re too stupid to buy, they’re too stupid to not have been born rich, that’s their own fault.
yeah, keep that pyramid going forever. nevermind if the supply of “home buyer’s” evaporates, make the fed print more money. dumb fcks in idaho who have low housing costs should have to pay via taxes and inflation to support the brilliant equityaires in san diego.
i can’t continue, the idea that home prices should continue ballooning is utterly retarded. there’s zero benefit to it, if you had a brain and thought about the long term consequences, you wouldn’t be asking such a dumb question. the housing orgy and the subsequent bust have massive potential for disrupting the global economy. think about that. think about the problems that these people have caused.
but it’s not about the people who are suffering. it’s about the market correcting. callousness towards someone featured in some fluff news piece is completely impersonal and tangent to the issue. even knowing people who bought in at the wrong time (which i do), they made a mistake and they’ll pay for it. everyone makes mistakes, honest people pay for it. smart people learn from it. that’s life. the market correcting sooner rather than later is just plain prudence. what would you rather have, a little pain from iodine or fricking gangrene?
cashman: a lot of “little people” were sucked into the housing orgy. they were jealous of “other people’s success”, “listened and learned from them” and wanted their slice of the pie. seems like you’re doing exactly what you spurn, debasement of people suffering personal tragedies. get over yourself.

Participantlbjames/diego:
no tears tho? not funny enough? bummer…
the article (and all the others like it) are just so fcking smarmy. everything in that article was manipulated perfectly, all prior complaints from people who pointed out fraudsters made those news editors think long and hard about how and who they wanted to make the poster child of this mess. and thereby elicit favor for a bailout.
ranking military. sd loves it some military. a clean and decent woman. skilled and employed in a tech company…
2k a month??? how shitty is that? what drugs, even with a partner, what drugs do you take to think that 2k/month can hold up a 400k mortgage?
