I'd move somewhere else before I paid over a half million for that :lol:...

It's a major problem that we have too many people in competition for housing in the top 15-20 metros.
Yeah, I get it, that's where most of the jobs are, but unless you are in a very specialized field it's...

[quote]Yep, ours are little. Big pay raise when they go to kindergarten. ?
With that said, love the social aspect of daycare. Interacting with way more of the outside world than we could offer with stay at home[/quote]
That's way more than we paid for daycare, but our youngest is 17. Aftercare w...

[quote]Having kids hasn’t been that expensive EXCEPT for childcare. We are around $35,000 a year for daycare.[/quote]
Damn, luckily that's usually only 4-5 years unless you send them to private school afterwards. Then they are really expensive again from 15-22 or so. ...

Yeah, not too many people in the 45-49 bracket (let alone 50+) are planning on starting a family :lol:...

[quote]That's short sighted at best. Same thing happened in Europe and look what they had to import to fill job vacancies.[/quote]
Japan has had similar issues. They just don't import replacements. ...

[quote]Spending thousands of dollars for a beach vacation were all you do is sit on a sandy beach all day in 100 degree heat, day after day, after day.[/quote]
It's not my favorite, but when you have teenagers it usually makes the most sense. Let them bring a friend and roam free.
Anything else...

I lived in Tigerland in the 90s. It wasn't nearly as bad then though. ...

[quote]Could pay it off, but the interest rate of 3.6% is nice compared to now.[/quote]
We got 3.9% from Honda for 60 months on the wife's vehicle in late 2023. It was a Honda specific promo though. ...

I do my best to stay out of high crime areas for the most part. That seems to be working out well for me so far :lol:...

[quote]Yep. Going to have to buy the fourth family car in a couple more years when my youngest hits 16.[/quote]
We timed the hand-me-down pretty well this time and gave the youngest my wife's old paid off car and bought the wife a new one.
I doubt it'll last her through college though so I'll p...

[quote]I can relate, but lifestyle creep still happens for us tightwads. I imagine your kids are young, so it usually begins after the daycare costs go away and the career trajectory gets more concrete.[/quote]
They start getting expensive as shite again when they are about high school aged :lol:...

$500 for 60 months is about my limit too. I'll make myself save whatever is required to make that number. ...
re: Monticello in Baton Rouge
Posted by fallguy_1978 on 7/25/24 at 8:29 am
I'd guess Monticello is one of the few majority black, middle-class neighborhoods in BR.
I definitely wouldn't consider it ghetto. I probably wouldn't let my kid go to a party in Glen Oaks, but I'd be fine with Monticello. ...
re: Monticello in Baton Rouge

It used to be a great neighborhood, but I wouldn't want to live there these days. I'd definitely let my kid go to a birthday party though. ...
