cabal,

I appologize for misunderstanding the word ‘spoil’ in a thread about why people have unrealistic expecatations of wealth and happyness. Your children aside, I still feel my comment stands. We have a nasty habit of lavashing everything we can on our children, and then wondering why they expect everything of the rest of the world.
It seems you are doing well by your children, avoiding the much more common definition of ‘spoiling without hesitation’.

In retrospect, I should feel lucky to still be married after 21 years. My wife and I are frugal except with our children which we spoil without hesitation.[/quote]

Please dont forget that they are kinda cherry picking their numbers there.

Step 1, 85% of median home price. This would make sense in a normal market with normal distribution, but (assuming they are talking about Q1 median) we had anything but a normal median. Janurary had what, 55% foreclosure sales? Feb wasnt far off. Even now it is ‘down’ to 35%. The only things selling are the low end, and these guys are gonna buy 15% below that? I thought CAR/NAR was always complaining how foreclosures are unfairly underpriced already.

Step 3, interest rates. Umm, lowest in recient history and totally manipulated. Not really their fault, but not telling the whole story here either.
