ParticipantMaybe my mind set is stuck in the ’50s. I’m pretty sure back then anybody with above average wage could buy a nice 3/2 1200 sq ft house in San Diego. What about all the service members that will be getting out of the military? Will they be able to afford to live here in San Diego? Not unless they have their 20 in and then get a job in addition to that retirement. During that 20 years however what were they doing? Unless getting officer pay my bet is they were renting (I do agree their housing allowance is too high, did it go down when homes prices went down, I doubt it). New housing is too expensive here in San Diego, that is my basic premise. Alot of it is because builders build houses that are too big, and if you look at their books I’m sure they are way fatter than my wallet.

ParticipantYes the shelf life is a major factor in why I’m pulling the trigger on tires now. My current tires have tread left (less than 40,000 miles on them I think) but are 6 years old. Needless to say I don’t drive the 4×4 much. When pulling a 6,000 lb boat up a boat ramp it is probably a good idea to not have old hard tires with little tread. So I decided to go with Costco after all. They are giving $100 back and I was able to get Bridgestones which are made in CA. Now admittedly CA is Canada but atleast they are North American made tires.

ParticipantBroken bells I think the loan limit changes will have virtually no impact on the sub 300 market. I think you have plenty of time and though you should be looking now and maybe even making offers before oct 1 I would not pull the trigger until after Nov 1. In my opinion the winter is the best time to buy.

ParticipantOK just checked my BMI and @ 6’2″ weighing 203 I’m overweight. I don’t look overweight, I admit though that I do “feel” overweight. I would have to lose 9 pounds to weigh in @ 194 and not be overweight. That’s 36288 Calories that I need to burn. Ok I will get started on it tomorrow, oh yeah I forgot tomorrow never comes,so how about right now. Most people under estimate how long it takes to lose weight. Other than fasting, which I agree would do a lot of people good to try, it would probably take atleast 3 weeks to lose those 9 pounds, minimum.
