Participant[quote=Rustico][quote=walterwhite]The greatest gift parents give is ignoring kids so they have room to grow. It’s all described in the freedom manifesto[/quote]
You should ignore your wife too…almost all the time. You are two different people and her needs or input do not count in your reality.[/quote]Haha, are you married? I am afraid to ask if you are happily married…
That is not how my family works, but I guess I am a fairly newly wed man. But I subscribe to the philosophy…
“a happy wife is a happy life”
So far this has served me well, and hell it even rhymes, how could it be wrong?
ParticipantAmazing! This thread just took a sweet turn for the better.
On the birth control thing. The pill is a terrible thing at least in my household. It made a happy wife into a complete terror. A pregnancy scare now and again is worth a wife off birth control!

Participant[quote=Eugene][quote=jstoesz]I would probably say, Brooklyn Park is the nearest comparison I can think of. Developed in the 70’s and 80’s 20 mins from DT and the home size and construction is probably similar.
But you are comparing rental prices…which is not a fair comparison. Because Minneapolis at today’s prices nearly always cash flows…san diego, not so much. We are talking about purchasing right?[/quote]
Brooklyn Park does not seem to be much cheaper than Mira Mesa, rent-wise:
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/apa/2121925294.html
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/apa/2122118059.html
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/apa/2121981653.htmlTaking that last one, it can be rented for 1450/month or bought with a monthly payment of around 1175/month, assuming 20% down, 4.5%, etc. etc. A comparable house in Mira Mesa could be rented for 1800 or bought for 1700. So, like I said, the question is whether you’re willing to tolerate Minnesota climate to save $500/month (and really even less, since most of the mortgage payment is tax deductible).[/quote]
Are we talking renting or buying. Because the median home price in Brooklyn park is right around 200k (yup you read that right), but the median price in MM is right around 500k. So that tells you something about the safety of a SD housing investment. Renting in SD is pretty cheap in comparison to home prices, and if that doesn’t raise the red flags then I don’t know what does.
BTW that house you linked in MM is really cheap to rent. I am a bit surprised that it is so cheap. Hopefully that is not some fraud, but if that is really what rents go for in MM, things are not looking good for appreciation.

ParticipantTo the original poster I have a question.
What if the shit hits the fan in 10 years, and you crash two cars, your house burns down, you both get a treatable form of cancer…etc. Can you rejoin the high fliers if if you leave, or are you done?
Because if there is someway you could keep your foot in the door. Like contract work or consulting or something, I would do that. Because, at the end of the day, money doesn’t make you happy, but in the hands of a wise man, it certainly makes life easier.
I have contemplated leaving engineering many times, buying a cabin in the woods,and getting a job in the mountains, cutting wood, or snow surveying or something. But at the end of the day, I know that will bore me too.
