#352 Yikes: we are flush with cash now, and able to put down 40%

And once you out that 40% down? It is now tied up in the house.&lt;/I&gt;

3b - we&#039;ve been saving for several years now, and it includes the profits from flipping a house. so that 40% downpayment is only about 75% of our savings.

financial adviser recommends 6 months &quot;living expenses&quot; and we&#039;ll have 8ish after purchasing the house.</description>

yikes,

why do you fear that? That’s the most honest monetary system we could possibly have.&lt;/i&gt;

Do all your friends and family have gold? Are they prepared for this?</description>

		<description>went to an open house on saturday. house has been on the market at least 6 months, but  this was the first time i could visit. the sign outside said &quot;price reduced&quot;. two bored  realtors sat at the 1930s kitchen table, next to the 1930s kitchen sink and telephone (rotary!)... handed me a flyer that listed the house at &quot;899k&quot;... i said, &quot;but i thought the sign said price reduced?&quot; &quot;this *is* the reduced price&quot; said the agents.

my 4 year old got to learn about how water marks on the ceiling of the first floor are particularly bad, and wallpaper peeling off the walls in huge sheets is not a good sign, either. i liked the cold cellar in the basement, though. it could hold a lot of potatoes.

i gave the realtors my actual phone number, and said, &quot;call me when the price gets reduced again.&quot;

&quot;make your best offer!&quot; said one of the agents, suddenly looking perky. &quot;$780k!&quot;

i just shook my head &quot;too much work needs to be done. it&#039;s still overpriced&quot;

as i closed the screen door the other agent wailed &quot;you could live in it while you fix it up!&quot;

ha. with the amount of mold lurking in those walls?... i just walked away.

weird thing was it had clearly not been inhabited, let alone taken care of, for years. weeds had broken up the concrete driveway in the back. i guess the sellers don&#039;t really want to sell...</description>

		<description>well, looks like I will be voting 3rd party candidate party tomorrow.

I ain&#039;t voting for those 2 puppets that control nothing.

If you blokes out there want change, quit falling for the false left/right...Rep/Dem debate.  You knuckleheads play right into their hands when you get caught up in such discussions.

Break out of the false debate, become active and hold all politicans feet to the fire, realize the private Federal reserve &amp; corporations hijacked the govt, and squeezing every drop of blood out of out, and want you to die, to then squeeze the shit out of your kids.

Quit sucking your thumbs and wet the bed.
Time to take back the country from corporatism, because I..for one... am too old for this shit and can&#039;t fight the good fight all by myself.

		<description>Has anyone ever seen this woman present?  She is an IRA and employee benefit tax law expert.  She often writes a column for Morningstar.

It is literally the most bizarre sight ever...she is basically Hillary Clinton doing a DEAD-ON flawless impression of Heath Ledger&#039;s the Joker, and she carries on with the demeanor Jim Carey as a Tax and IRA withdrawl expert.

I sat through a 2 hour technical meeting and it was surreal.</description>

		<description>chifi,

i get paid to find the weakness in complex systems.  i am apparently good at it......  i guess i bing my work home with me.

its not really gloomy though.  you have to figure out what the core problem in a system is before trying to fix it otherwise you waste your time.</description>
