Participant[quote=Eugene]Teachers are not extremely well paid here – worse than in the Northeast (NY, CT), for example.
[/quote]Ok, I am not gonna say I know how to fix anything. I have been mulling what TG said earlier for a day or two now, and still have not made up my mind on alot of stuff. But the above comment doesnt mix well with SOME of the things I have been reading. The link below shows CA teachers at 120% of the national average, and certainly the highest in the west. I get the feeling that this is a data set that is highly dependent upon the standard being compared to for relivance to ones argument.

(full disclosure, this only goes from 00-04, maybe everyone else just passed Ca teachers up? Gotta keep reading)
Participant“The first HOUR minutes were filled with nothing but postponements due to br, bk, and even a few cancellations”
Just curious, but how many properties was this? Was it like 6properties each taking 10 min, or more like 60 each taking 1 min to be delayed? It puts some of the other things into context.

Participant[quote=davelj]Ah… and more interesting details emerge about the wife of this man and his Personal Credit Crisis. He managed to omit his wife’s TWO previous bankruptcies…

This doesnt suprise me at all. Read the two quotes below and they just dont jive. It bugged me the first time I read it. How does an editor, who hasnt worked in a decade or two, have such great knowledge about very expensive clothes she got a good entry level job when she doesnt buy any for herself?
[quote]”We had very different ideas about money. Patty spent little on herself, but she refused to scrimp on top-quality produce, Starbucks coffee, bottled juices, fresh cheeses and clothing for the children and for me.” [/quote]
[quote]”When Saks Fifth Avenue offered her a full-time job selling high-end clothing on commission — something she knew about and loved — she grabbed it.”[/quote]
Oh, I see. She was just shopping for everyone else in the house. (I highly doubt this)
“She regularly bought me new shirts and ties to replace the frayed and drab ones in my closet.”Ill bet most of the people in his office didnt think his old clothes were drap and fraying. And I can only extrapolate what I know about similar people to guess that she was also often replacing her “drab and fraying clothes”.
“She thought it wasn’t worth agonizing over nickels and dimes.”
Nearly every person I know who says this type of thing is almost always in financial trouble. Unless they actually mean the actual nickels or dimes, it is amazing how much money can just be ‘nickels and dimes’. Especially when being purchased on a credit card.

ParticipantIn the short run this will cause panic, as people feel they are missing out.
In the medium run, this will force more people back to the sidlines. If they cant buy anything they like, why buy?
In the long run this will take a long time to heal.
In no way is this anything more than a realization of the reality that already exists. People like to buy houses, especially when the Government is stimulating the hell out of it and interest rates are just plain stupid. Even if you think they shouldnt.
