I don’t have car Payments. I have a house payment. And seems like I still can’t get ahead. Vehicles for kids. College tuition. Insurance costs. Oh and the 10$ per lb ground beef….

And people say ..”they just finance it”.. but they still gotta make payments. I don’t know how they keep up $2k mortgage $1500 car notes $1k mth on vacations (averaged out) $500 boat note $500 s x s/ gold carts / 4 wheelers $1k fishing/hunting $1k private schools
Shoot, and this is if they are living cheap. $2k mortgage won’t get you a shack these days

True… but equity, etc.
I live in a $600k house, but mortgage is only $1300. So trying to stay relative to my situation.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a $1300 mortgage. That’s impressive.
I’ve never stayed long enough to get that.

Well this is the 5th house we built…. Equity adds up if you use it right

That’s bullshite. The people forecasting the housing bubble weren’t “broken clocks”. They spotted a very fundamental issue within the mortgage industry, one the eventually killed several “unkillable” banks.
The people who were calling for the tech bubble to correct weren’t “broken clocks”.
People looking at today’s fundamentals and saying we are (over)due for a correcting aren’t broken clocks. Yes, people who are cash right now have missed a hell of a year in 2025 if they were in cash all year, but if there is a correction, no, when there is a correction it will likely be larger than the total 2025 gains.

Let it ride and keep investing. I’ve had several 20% years, some negative years but I’m not smart enough to time the market.

Many of us OT’ers live this way. And yes; we enjoy going skiing in the Swiss alps during the winter and swimming at the beaches where they only allow us and the topless model quality European women access to.

No one is and let it ride or not depends on a lot of factors. I’m in the industry and even with all I have access to timing the market is not possible.
Adopting positions to try to take advantage of the market is in some instances. I remain fairly bullish personally, but if one is risk averse they may take different positions.
There is a debt load in certain households and late payments are nearing record levels. Something wicked may be coming.

Most those people are up to their eyeballs in debt and over leveraged as frick. Reality is they don’t have a pot to piss in.
Posted on 12/9/25 at 4:20 am to ClemsonKitten
Nah, I’ve spoken to some financial advisers recently and they’re telling me the debt is the worst they’ve ever seen. One guy said “it’s like 2008 on steroids”
