Although I know this thread can go many different directions–all very
interesting– I’d just like to add that I agree with flu’s comments.

Although the issues involving government employess do effect society as a whole, there is little we can do about them, so to concentrate on one’s own wealth-building efforts probably makes the most sense.

We’ve been focusing on this for years, and now, at 50, have no financial concerns.
As I’ve seen with friends, in the final analysis, your health will go before your finances do, so enjoy everyday–everything on earth is temporary.

Based upon all of the comments thus far, it looks like you are receiving the full gamut of predictions. If anyone REALLY knew. . . well, you know how that goes. . .

As sdrealtor noted, some “Boomers,” (My wife and I are in that group at 50), will be just fine, and have everything we need to maintain our chosen lifestyles in retirement–and then some–either from our own preparation or from inheritances.

That said, it does seem from many of the articles I’ve read such as “Boomers’ Inheritance: The Sobering Reality,”–this New York Life piece paints a far different picture of retirement for Boomers, and for the majority, it doesn’t seem to be good.

So, will the housing market go north or south, based upon any and all elements of the equation?
As we’ve all heard before. . .only time will tell.

As you probably know, if you are considering purchasing a home in an established neighborhood (versus a new home), you have the advantage of checking the area out on various days at different times of the day and evening to see exactly what living there will be like.

Unless there is a viable Homeowner’s Association in the area(s) you are considering, that you know will help support you with regard to the dog problem you mentioned (ask the sellers if one exists), you might want to reconsider the purchase. From the way you’ve described your family, if things are not resolved, it sounds like you may be very unhappy.

Of course, you could also purchase a home in what seems to be a very quiet neighborhood with no dogs, and neighbors could change, presenting this same problem in the future. You really have to decide how much you really want a particular home, versus fighting the problems you’ve described.

Some friends of ours in 4S Ranch recently received assistance from their HOA with exactly the same problem, so I’m well aware of the challenges you may be facing. Fortunately, they were strongly supported by the HOA and prevailed.

We live on over an acre in RSF, and still hear dogs in the distance, but a little space between you and your neighbor does help.

Good luck with your decision!

Enjoyed reading the article. There certainly is a lot of “advice” out there–probably because none of us really know exactly what might happen–so we’re receptive to many points of view.

Had Grandparents who did incredibly well shorting the market “way back when,” but it’s really hard to know what position to take in our present economic situation.

Along with real estate, we’ve been stashing cash for many
years–hopefully it will pay off!

Thanks again for the post.
