But can you also make some $$ back selling the unused electricity to Edison? Might make the break even period less.

::) at least do the landscaping if you are going to ask a WTF price. Maybe they were going for the "beachy" Laguna theme - you know all the blue hues and all

So no backyard landscaping done right? just some turf carpet, pot plants and beachy sand??

OMG my kids would LOVE this - specifically because mac n cheese is a forbidden food in our house (along with cheetos) - lol. So anytime we go to a restaurant they ask for it  :)

Absolutely agree. Thank you for sharing that personal account of your experience. And despite national recommendations I would start mammogram screening at age 40. I know I will when I get to that age.

Very true. I'm not too much of a Dave Ramsey fan because he's too conservative for me but assigning every dollar you make to something and knowing the daily cash flows in and out of your household is a must for ultimately building up your net worth. Getting out of the unnecessary debt cycle and...

who has millions sitting in a bank account? I would hope most are invested in some way to at least hedge against inflation.

True wealth is determined by net worth. Most people haven't even calculated their net worth which is the first step to building it up. Everyone should know and track their net worth. IHO why don't you create a poll on that?  I agree that annual gross income means nothing and expenditures vs cash...

Advanced degrees, highly educated "idiots" basically. But I also suspect most of the bread winners in these households are the men who are hardly around and the vaccination decision makers of the household are your stereotypical uneducated stay at home trophy wives/ moms/ herbal naturopath...

I'm sure it's a thrill of a drive. But I'm not too much a fan of the look of the car, maybe because it still looks like a borderline station wagon. Looking forward to the kids going to college so I can get back into a 2 door  (I'll be waiting awhile - will save up for that perfect empty nesters...

I lived in Northpark before moving to OH. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure all of the homes in Northpark are TUSD.

Nope. I have young children and still have no appreciate for minivans. Once you fall in love with high HP/ high Torque/ high performance vehicles it's really hard to go back from that. I drove a 2 door coupe with a toddler and infant in tow until my husband forced me to sell it. The auto...

Because not everyone buys a home solely based on schools. OH still falls into a home within the city of Irvine (over Tustin) with new homes, new floor plans, higher elevation, hillside views etc. Many reasons people would choose OH Irvine for a home purchase over Tustin Ranch. Capella has many...

Exactly why we once considered South County but ended up buying in Irvine.  Safer place to park your $$ in a home.

Lol - just a strong believer in quality over quantity  8) Investing in quality over the long run will always pay itself back in durability and even appreciation. Too bad this argument has still not won over my husband on that Birkin bag  :(

The new home smell is still a very attractive feature along with the ability to easily put in your own finishes to your liking vs having to demo someone else's 10-15 year old bad taste design.

I'd still consider it - esp since you use it all the time. If its good quality and lasts more than a decade it's worth it.

THIS has everything to do with why most of us (especially younger parents with young children) buy in Irvine. Yes we could get so much more for our money outside of Irvine but the benefits of Irvine definitely outweigh the impediments. And for people that love organization, cleanliness and are...

Anyone have a Restoration Hardware Sectional? Been looking there for a new sofa/ sectional. I have other RH furniture that's held up really well so hoping the same for their couches

Are the Lucca homes also backing each other? I hated that part about Amelia. Are there any homes with no neighbor behind?
