“I personally think people would be MORE productive if they didn’t waste their entire days in a cubicle.”

AND reading blogs 😉

I have a on/off switch in my brain about this all the time. I want things to fail, I want people to learn lessons the hard way, for prices to fall and for me to scoop up a place at a bargain.

Then I think for that to happen my wife or I will lose our job and will not be able to take advantage of it anyway. I used to keep around 3k on my credit cards at all times, I didn’t think it was bad, I could afford it. Then I married a girl in finance and we started computing and it quickly was paid off. I can’t imagine ever going back. I’m hoping it’s the same lesson many learn.

I still think these forums are not the norm, and that this board consists of financially savvy people. The average person does not computer drops in % in real estate and get a hard on talking about statistics like people on this board. While there is a broad range of people on this board I do think the mind set is different, and the amount in savings and the ethics used in purchasing is different too.

It’s like comparing the people on this board to the people who post for sale items on craigslist. There would be no comparison.

My sister makes 48k in her clerkship, so not all lawyers make great money. She looks at it as a step towards her future so she’s making the sacrifice now.

I used to do consulting and a lot of my clients were small firms. I was talking to one lady as I was working on her computer. She seemed nice, but tired. I asked about her kids, and she said, “in my profession you are either a good lawyer or a good mom, I’m a good lawyer” needless to say I didn’t ask about her kids again. You can tell she had guilt. She had a million+1 pictures of her kids on the walls. Probably the only way she can see them.

for the realtors that are here, how often do you run into people like hawk? Is 130k combined for 27-28yrs old normal?

I still think the people that browse these boards are of higher intelligence in life and their positions. I can’t imagine a 130k salary being common. Maybe I am just one of the j6packs that is sipping champagne with everyone and then returning my rental tux and going back to my trailer. Acting like I am going towards my car but really just heading to the bus stop.

If we were talking about 80-100 combined I could see that, I just can’t see 130 as a standard.

I have friends, accountants, etc. We don’t know many with the incomes you guys talk about. I don’t know where you guys get your numbers sometimes, I just don’t see it. We are trying to save money, but the tax man taketh away from the dual income no kids.

I don’t know anyone making that kind money in their 20’s as you speak of. It is like all you guys only know engineers or are the asian frugal type

who doesn’t fret over money loss? I would fret at $100 lost due to stupidity, I would really fret over 3k being lost over it
