[quote=CA renter]Well said, CBad.
That has nothing to do with how real, quality women behave. Most women are not gold-diggers.

Piggington men and women are not typical people.

Yeah, guys are all looking for svelte beauties like in movie
“Love & Sex” and get jaded from the experience. Or struggling romance in movie “High Fidelity”. And gals want the security and always bellyache there are no good men out there as they laugh with their girlfriends.

Had a friend who was dating a gal as she was going to Ivy league school college and then top Ivy league law school. This guy was extremely funny and everyone liked him but he had zero job prospects. Relatives joked that he should marry her before she gets away. She gets a job after law school and the next thing you know he is gone. I can just imagine the office converstation, “Girlfriend, you can do better.”

I would have dumped him too, but did she think he was going to change somehow in those years?

[quote=Ricechex]LOL ladies of Piggington! I also hate to shop! And, would have no interest in a diamond ring. The money can be used or saved for something more necessary.

The entire wedding/marketing/fancy diamond ring scheme is designed to keep people buying. Nothing wrong with a wedding to demonstrate your commitment in front of others, but so many go in debt over it. 30K for a wedding when you are only making $70K a year? 2 months salary for a ring? The corporate industry has brainwashed women to believe that the grander the material gift, the greater the love. It is simply not true.[/quote]
Know someone who is in bad financial shape near retirement, yet spent over $30K on wedding for daughter. Not the first mistake.
(I would have taken a car and a chapel but I’m just a dude)
Listen to society and you go broke.

[quote=sdrealtor]The wealthiest guy in Palm Desert is the developer who put ptts in place many years ago. He just sits back and enjoys the gift that keeps on giving.[/quote]
You mean we could have imposed a 1% PTT when we sold and saved up for the Bugatti Veyron? At the market peak, you could have had bidding war on the PTT.
I just don’t have any imagination.

“PTTs that give developers, non-government entities and individual property owners the power to tax. The practice is allowed due to a gap in California law that lets developers and other private sellers to impose PTTs on home buyers every time the home is sold with no oversight, no accountability and no limit on the amount of the tax, or how many of these taxes can be “piled” onto the same home.
