Import one from Thailand, Vietnam or Venezuela or some place like that. ...
[quote]Listed for $550,000.[/quote] I'd move somewhere else before I paid over a half million for that :lol:...
[quote]You’re not entitled to live in these cities. Live somewhere you can afford.[/quote] 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. ...
Gnocchi for me. I don't know how anyone likes that stuff. ...
[quote]I get off by sending women cashapps...frick sticking my dick in em...gross[/quote] Chasing those women with 580 credit scores? ...
[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:...
[quote]Any car note more than $500 is insane, in Scruffy’s opinion.[/quote] $500 for 60 months is about my limit too. I'll make myself save whatever is required to make that number. ...

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. ...

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. ...
