it is an ok buy. as a former model home, it is significantly upgraded. but purchase price of former models are typically significantly higher than actual peak pricing.

as I recall, in ’08 they were selling these at $1 million and by now new homes are at high 700. with the upgrades available in this particular one, $880k makes sense.

problem is there is minimal bedrooms, only TWO!

I guess these are really targeting the baby boomers.

here’s the link to the new homes:

here’s a good link to the approx cost of dying these days: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/11/19/60minutes/main5711689_page3.shtml?tag=contentMain;contentBody

from the article:

Charlie Haggart is 68 years old and suffering from liver and kidney failure. He wants a double transplant, which would cost about $450,000. But doctors have told him he’s currently too weak to be a candidate for the procedure.

At a meeting with Haggart’s family and his doctors, Dr. Byock raised the awkward question of what should be done if he got worse and his heart or lungs were to give out.

He said that all of the available data showed that CPR very rarely works on someone in Haggart’s condition, and that it could lead to a drawn out death in the ICU.

“Either way you decide, we will honor your choice, and that’s the truth,” Byock reassured Haggart. “Should we do CPR if your heart were to suddenly stop?”

“Yes,” he replied.

“You’d be okay with being in the ICU again?” Byock asked.

“Yes,” Haggart said.

After we finished this story, we received word that Charlie Haggart, the patient who was hoping for a liver and kidney transplant, died this week at a hospital in Vermont.

His brother said Haggart’s condition had deteriorated so much the family decided that no attempts would be made to resuscitate him.

I look at it another way… Health care needs to be (or is going to need to be rationed)…Folks like this I think are taking away resources from other folks who really need it.[/quote]

how is it that folks like the young lady featured today is “taking away resources from other folks who really need it.”

I listened to the same interview today in whole and I didn’t get anything negative out of it.

the freelance thing is really just a way to say “involuntary temperary part time jobs.” as for 2-3 jobs. that simply means most employers out there are trying their best to game the system by making sure their employees stay “part-time” and therefore they are not on the hook for benefits. think of it this way, I would rather hire two part timers each at 20 hours a week instead of a full time worker working 40 hours.

as for getting on her parent’s insurance. I think otherwise in the great majority of cases, the young adult would have simply gone without insurance. something catestrophic comes along and it’ll be on our dime.
