any time you feel like slumming it in Houston it is!! :lol: :cheers:

$2400/month for 2 in a small private daycare.

vs $2100/month mortgage @ a 2.4% interest rate.

but it would be absolutely slamming the top of our monthly budget,

We don’t have kids yet but plan to

then you cannot afford this home. kids are expensive, real expensive.

daycare was more expensive than my mortgage.

It also would assume that we do make more in the future

enough to offset increases in property taxes, insurance, and other cost of living increases? That's a hell of a bet.


Buy option A, have your kids, hopefully the are healthy normal kids. strictly manage your budget. Wait 10 years. Then take your equity and upgrade if you have to.

:lol: ohhh yeah, you've definitely got the space for a 98". That baby will be able to see Bluey's nose hairs in his/her play pen with the 98"

mine will be to replace a 65" LG TV in our new living room. Nothing wrong with the LG, it's just not big enough for that wall and/or open living room/kitchen area.

I've done the fireplace mounts before and really just don't like the angle, plus the living room furniture orientation wouldn't work if we put one up there. So it'll go on the 14' empty wall with 10' ceiling. Wife is ordering a custom made buffet for the wall. So I'm waiting for that and assuming the QM7 98" will catch a $200-300 sale come Labor Day.

If I time this correctly, I'll be hosting a LSU vs Ole Piss watch party with the new setup.

The wall on the other side of the fireplace is nothing but windows looking into the backyard, so QLED just isn't going to work as well as a Mini-LED for us.

I've read those TCL soundbars / sub packages are worth getting while you're at it.

Weird pivot. Catholic food banks are voluntary charities. Nobody is arguing they shouldn’t feed people. In this thread…we’re clearly talking about taxpayer-funded entitlement programs.

:lol: you know it. he better include a large man cave in next home build.

Recently checked out the 98" TCL QM7K at Best Buy and holy crap what picture. Was on sale for $1899 and free delivery and setup.

that’s the TV I’m about to buy, that or the 86” version. It depends on what size buffet my wife orders to go underneath it. It should work out to where she orders and gets the buffet just in time for the TCL to get a $300-400 price drop for Labor Day.

is there another reason you’re not a Sophie? we can be honest here.

well said. that and being her own person. weaker men can’t handle that.

$$$. likely was on their direct payroll or his retirement / estate is tied to their interests.
