    How old were you when you had your first job?

    I was reading <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/homeschooling/2009/10/mama-don?t-let-your-babies-grow-up-to-be-deadbeats/">Pioneer Woman</a> and thought of this thread as today's topic is getting your kids to work. I think this quote is hoot. <em>Parenting can be hardcore hard. We have to...

    Irvine loses appeal - more affordable housing on the way

    Oc78, the site requires a $1000 annual subscription to view the salary data. I did sign up for the free account and was blocked from the top exces salary section.

    Irvine loses appeal - more affordable housing on the way

    Nude, my point is not to say poor or rich are more deserving to receive the government assistance. I'm trying to shed light on why it is if one if against government subsidized housing projects, why is all the resentment directed at the low income residents? Why is there no one equally upset at...

    Irvine loses appeal - more affordable housing on the way

    Yes, and those 4-9% credits are available every year for 10 years. If you get a 9% credit you would recoup 90% of your cost to build the affordable project. Tell me how recouping 90% of your costs is not a aggressive tax advantage? It's certainly not without headaches, though. There is a ton of...

    Irvine loses appeal - more affordable housing on the way

    There is definitely more than meets the eye with regards to affordable housing. I've studied the tax code for affordable housing. It is like one of the biggest tax giveaways there is. In turn bidding for affordable housing projects can be quite fierce. There is $$$$$ to be made in affordable...

    Kids Talking Back? Maybe it's not so bad after all.

    I'm a little skeptically. I certainly can't speak from any area of expertise. But from my own observations I find many Asian families take the "do as I tell you" parenting approach. Could it just be, on average, Mexican parent's commands are not academic centric?

    Case-Schiller for Costa Mesa

    Graph, did that CRE building ever foreclose? My good friends have their dental office in that building. I know they just resigned their lease. I was told they got a lot of tenant improvements and a much lower rent. They had also told me one of the big tenants, a modeling agency, was their quite...

    Opinions on this Yorba Linda House?

    I'd go for it if this is a house you love, it's in your ideal location, and you have enough money saved up if you lose your job. But please promise me, if you get it, the Grecian statues have to go!!!! I would get the comps from a MLS source that has photos. If something similar sold for...

    Unique and Interesting Websites

    I just discovered Pioneer Woman's love story "From Black Heels to Tracer Wheels". It's so good. I've never been into reading romance novels or anything but her writing is very captivating.

    Reading While Driving

    Okay, I'm promise I really don't try to multi-task while flying down the freeway at high speeds. But, I have to admit, I'm gulity of putting on make-up, texting, and reading IHB while at stop lights. I know what I'm doing is wrong and it guilts me. But instead of stopping my bad behavior, I just...

    I THINK THE MARKETS HAVE TOPPED

    At lunch today one of our CPAs was all chipper about the Dow 10,000 and remarked "you must all be so revealed, how different this year is from last". No one said a word. All of us managing portfolios sat there stunned with looks of anxiety in our eyes. All of us were thinking 'yeah, just wait'...
