    Help me through with this logic....

    <blockquote>If you believe house prices will go up, then you don?t have to do anything, and your 20% downpayment will appear by magic.</blockquote> Tinker Bell economics! I like! Funny, I didn't see that mentioned in The Book...

    So who here is an IAC renter?

    LOL, I just detest people who can't walk around without rattling the floorboards. Headboards are meant to be rattled, not floorboards.

    For Winelovers in Irvine

    Total Wine has a <a href="http://www.wineaccess.com/store/totalwine-tustin/ecommerce/product.html?product_id=10785786">chard from the NY finger lakes region </a>that's different and interesting. The oak is so strange that you might think the barrel were made from some other hardwood.

    Should I get him THE bike?

    <blockquote>He won?t leave me. We?ll grow old together</blockquote> Over the past month or two, I've been kicking around financial ideas with a person who is turning to litigation to help untangle about a quarter million in assets from the person with whom she'd grow old with. I guess she...

    Should I get him THE bike?

    Oh, and the ring is probably a bad idea as well (assuming he's dumping two months salary into it). You're not into <a href="http://www.un.org/peace/africa/Diamond.html">diamonds</a>, are you?

    Should I get him THE bike?

    Babyseal, my blunt advice: Get six months of living expenses saved NOW and put bicycles out of mind. Unless it's something for under $700 to help him occupy his time while he (and you) save the six months of living expenses. (grouchy old man hat ON) An appetite and tolerance for debt will...

    <blockquote>it seems like the neighbors above stomp across their rooms instead of walking regularly across</blockquote> It's my least favorite thing about having people above you. The thing is, they're walking in a manner that's perfectly normal to them: With a heavy heel-strike. We're...

    Consumers are to blame for our economy...right.

    I hear that horses will do the same thing if they're given too much feed. Homo sapiens is supposed to be smarter than that. 30 year fixed freely available for under 5% is like a gift from God, and we (metaphorical 'we') blew it. I don't know if having the government protect us from...

    Consumers are to blame for our economy...right.

    I agree with him. Consumers have: * houses they can't afford * revolving debt they can't service * BMW leases they can't pay * stagnating wages * too little retirement savings * an overinvestment in equities Hell yes it's consumers fault.
