re: Places to eat in downtown Austin

The whole trip was pretty miserable, if I am being honest.


Well you did eat at a chain and hotel bar :lol:

What would you do about it ? It's not that hard to figure out, we got the government propping up the lazy while the workers are getting undercut by illegals and H!B's. If no American worker can be found, then a salary of 500k is fair, make that the minimum for h1b adjusted yearly for inflation. Total halt to all immigration for at least 10 years. Debank all current illegals and make it a serious crime to knowingly hire one including small businesses. Of the known illegals create a database searchable by any citizen with all criminal records and known locations


I’m not minimizing how bad illegal immigration is, but why is the new OT talking point a bunch of Joses from Guatemala are the reason houses are a half a million dollars in places like Collin county or the woodlands?
quote:

Someone on the OT is advocating that Scott Peterson is innocent and here is someone going to bat for Enron. It’s bizzaro world around here sheesh


They’re going to bat for Arthur Andersen… and they’re right.

Outsmarting the current law doesn’t make you a criminal. One of hundreds of examples of congress not being able to act and then punishing private citizens for it.
quote:

Just file bankruptcy. Not paying people is just embarrassing


What do you think bankruptcy is? :lol:
quote:

I worked for Anderson during Enron. Was unreal.


You’d think you’d know how to spell it if you worked there
quote:

I think many younger folks would benefit from this. Really gives a good appreciation of how good we have it here in America especially if you spend some time out of the country. Once done Va loans for home , education etc... much easier.


Yeah dude, we should have required military service like third world shitholes instead of just stopping running the economy into the ground

170 is the median salary for two college grads ten years into their career


It’s not though. No matter how many times you say it :rotflmao:
quote:

Principal on 400k is 2550. Not sure where you are coming up with 6000 for homeowners. My house is valued at 1.2 million replacement cost and I pay 4300. My property taxes are 8700.


Because your assessed value is less than the fmv :lol: :lol:

quote:

Again you are making shite up.


You’re making shite up and uneducated. Not a good combo!
quote:

You want to make 170k. Be able to buy a 3000 sq ft house, in great school districts, close to a major metro area, be able to max out retirement, and not be house poor. What the frick are you smoking? Because I want some of that.


Who said this?

But I would contend that empirically high earners should be able to do better than an empirically median life.
quote:

Life ain’t fair either.


Life should not be equal. We should do our best to make life as “fair” as possible. Just ignoring things going into the shitter is an insane position to take. I’ll never understand it
quote:

So if you average 170k and you are just getting married. Then you don’t need great schools yet. But let’s assume you did. The 10 years before you get married you could save 80-100k for a downpayment. Buy a 500k house. Your mortgage is 2800. Your take home should be around 9700 monthly.


Before any retirement savings or insurance. You are house poor
quote:


But it isn’t. Look it up. Average engineer salary after 10 years is 140. Average nurse salary after 10 years is 105-110.


quote:

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median annual wage for civil engineers is $99,590, which breaks down to about $47.88 per hour. The lowest 10 percent earn less than $65,920, and the highest 10 percent earn more than $160,990.


The highest 10% of all earners earn less than what you said someone just coming into their prime earning years makes :rotflmao:
quote:

Again you are talking out of your arse. An engineer and a nurse 10 years into their career average 250k. The 170 is the average of all college graduates. Stop making shite up.


This is categorically and factually untrue :lol: :lol:
quote:

Why do you have to lie?
Median home is not a starter home.

It literally is in the middle. Of society has to buy something in the 50th percentile as their first home, that explains the lack of thought for this younger generation



And an engineer and a nurse with a household income of $170k aren’t median earners. This really isn’t that complicated :lol:

The financial outlook in this country is deteriorating. That’s not debatable. Does the average American have culpability in that? Well of course they do. But there’s a bunch of shite outside of their control too that’s absolutely boning them.

Shoving your head up your arse and pretending that’s not happening is astoundingly retarded.
quote:

But we didn’t get this. We got it after years of work.


First time homebuyers are nearing 40 years old on average :lol:

The post I replied to was referencing raising kids in a smaller home and them sharing bedrooms. Did you do that when you were raising your children or only they should?
quote:

News flash. Houses usually weren’t that big. You don’t NEED a 2500 square foot house. Kids can sleep 2 to a room. That used to be normal if you had more than 2.


“We Boomers and X’ers get this, but you don’t NEED it”

You wouldn't believe me if I told you how old I was when I retired, debt free to boot.


You have no dependents and live off the American taxpayer :lol:
quote:

Wait, I thought Boomers were hoarding everything ...


They are. About 50 boomers have 90% of the wealth. The rest will be lucky to die without leaving their kids a bunch of debt
quote:

Best of luck to your kid.

Night Vision


It’s clear you don’t have any.

That’s what’s funny about these threads. The idiots telling you to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps are lower middle class wage slaves that’ll never be able to retire.
quote:

The average college grad dual income at 33 is over 170k. Should be able to afford a 400k house if they saved anything in the first 10 years of their career.



Ah, the American dream. Where an engineer and a nurse nearing their mid 30s can afford an entry level home in a location where they have to commute 90 minutes each way.

The fatal flaw in your premise. We watch guys cheat all the time. The dude that just won the last major did it in the wide arse open
