Participantis sacrificing really good?
i still feel guilty.
why so future based? what about the present?
where are the zen asians? did they not make it to the US?
Participantfairness is never all that simple…
somhow i dont think colleges or credentials will be irrelevant in 10 years. like real estate, there are huge financial interests at play, large piles of debt, and powerful teacher interests at play.
will it matter as much? i don’t know. but i doubt it will ever be all about competence or knowledge…
is it worth the money?
no….

ParticipantBuilt 1894! Personally I think it looks cool.
ParticipantThe greatest technological innovation is the ability to look at funny cat pics and argue with strangers 24/7.
I stole that…
Participantmaybe energy increases are good. we’ll use less…
im going to be eating cheaper food.
i’m going to severely limit the variety to get into routine and keep costs down.
1. oats/nuts/honey.
2. garden of life plant protein with water.
3. salad. nuts. piece of bread. maybe some fish.i think through maor food quantity reduction and limiting choice, i can get costs down to five or six bucks a day.
sweaters cancel out heat.
no a/c.
water, i shower at the gym.
it’s that damn pool thats killing me.
Participantthe urge to pay off debt is almosta spiritual feeling.
a yearning to be new and free.
what is this about “jubilee” years in the torah. i think every 7 eyars, debts were forgiven?
there is something spiritually oppressive about longterm debt…
no it’s every 50th year? :

Participanti think lawyers risk suicide and substance abuse problems a bit higher than normal; but thas probably the fault of the nutjobs who enter the profession
Participant[quote=ocrenter][quote=flu][quote=scaredyclassic]i always liked oriental avenue and the light blue properties on the monopoly board. they seemed reasonably priced, a decent value. then again, I always covet baltic and mediterranean, and have the greens and yellows. too ritzy for me. now i live in a green property. i’d probably prefer something in the purples, maybe st. charles, or tennessee avenue.[/quote]
Statistically, the best properties are the orange and red ones, with a second place going to the purple properties…….As one has the most chance of landing there… You have a pretty good chance of ending up in jail many times, and there’s a chance card that says go to illnois or st. charles place…[/quote]
Wow, tips on how to beat my daughter at the next game of Monopoly AND petitioning against racist legislation all in the same thread, nice![/quote]
probably my love for cheap property is penny wise and pund foolish and not based in a realitybased evealuation of risks and benefits. more based on fear of overindebtedness.
good ol oriental avenue. i even prefer boardwalk and park place to the greens, just because there’s less of them. my kids went througha little monopoly binge a few years back where we played a lot.
now the oldest one isnt even wanting to come home for spring break.
ingrates.
Participantthnk G-d i do not live the life of my fdreams. my most common dream is being in college but being unaware of what classes i am in, feeling panicked as tests and papers approach, not even sure what i supposed to do. i much prefer reality, whcih, although occasionally bleak, at leastaffords me the sense that i know where to show up at…
Participantmy lawyer friend recently made over 5 million on one case … it can be done…i’d be happy if one of my kids vetured into the law, even though it’s bleak. i think it’s good for you. toughen you up….i’d pay for a cheap school… my little one has it in his head that he should be an expert witness…not a bad racket….
Participantmy main investmentsare going to be stuff I think is undervalued that i find at yard sales/ebay and hold. For instance, I found two japanese fishing lures new in package, purchased for about a buck. They go for about 50.00 each on ebay. I plan to hold for 10years. who’s to say what the top of the japanese fishing lure market wil be? I couldn’t even begin to say. I intend to buy hard goods i think have potential, put them in a box, and hold them until 2025. that’s my plan. that and 10,000 mercury dimes in a bank safe deposit box.
