ParticipantNot much.
I bought some marinated carne asada ($9) from Trade Joe’s
with avocados ($3) some tomatos($2) and filled the car up with gas for next week ($40! ouch).Grand Total: $54
But that covers gas for next week commute to work.

ParticipantGood points,
I make over 100k a year and cannot afford a home here yet.
Then again there are married couples making over 200k so they are keeping prices high. That and easy financing still is somewhat available. I hear all the zero down payment plans still exist in the newspaper real estate section and flyers. Guess it takes time.
I made a wager that in 3-5 years if I cannot afford a home in San Diego that I would move to a cheaper place like Texas where a large home costs 100-300k versus 700-1million in San Diego.

ParticipantKewl!
“Let the bodies hit the floor!”
A line from a great hard rock song. Cant wait for the implosion so that I can get a nice home in CV for 200k.
All the fools who had to live like the rich on credit will learn the hard way soon.

ParticipantI work as an Oracle database consultant.
In past 12 years, I have worked both as a regular full time employee and as a consultant and contract employee.
Fact is: UNLESS you have a secure and stable government job then full time employment is really a joke unless you are very lucky and work for a stable company. Which is rare these days.
I like consulting better because I can make as much in 4-6 months that I would make in a year or two at most full time jobs. This gives me time to travel, write and enjoy living.
I think that we need to wake up and live more like people enjoy life in Latin America and European nations who get way more time off to enjoy living and not just to live to work and consume expensive life style on credit.
Brazilians have it way easier than Americans in terms of life and vacation. Same for the French!
