I agree with this. Everyone I know who was super aggressive in their career ambitions ended up with a job that stressed them out, had long hours, hurt their relationships, etc. They were basket case overachievers going into it, and ended up with a job that suited that exact aspect of their personality.
So now you are seeing how events beyond your control, that exist in a certain space and time, can have drastic effects on the affordability of the things that you need the most. Do you get it now?
So you're saying Obamacare fooked CutSnips chances of home ownership. Hey.....I get how that could happen.......my monthly health insurance is a couple hundred dollars more per month than my mortgage, property taxes, home owners and flood insurance combined. I get it now. Thanks. And thanks Obama.So now you are seeing how events beyond your control, that exist in a certain space and time, can have drastic effects on the affordability of the things that you need the most.

In other words, how is medical care any different than the cost of housing for when you entered the market versus those who came of buying age in the last 10-15 years
yeah that’s fair.
No, the metaphor clearly went right over your head. How unusual.
So it's "choices" when someone rents instead of buys, but Obama's fault that your workplace health care plan sticks the cost on you. Don't you have the choice of going into a line of work or another employer that provides better coverage? How is that not a choice?
So your healthcare is free if its burred in your compensation package rather than transparent the way mine is?
My income is commission based by choice and If I want to make more I have a lot of control to do so. If I want to surf more I have control there too. Because of my choices in my 20s and my lifestyle choices along the way, I don't have to work as hard as others or worry about finances. Key to that was buying a house as soon as I could. My mortgage expense is based on 1994 housing prices.
Bought my house for the then-astronomical sum of $400K. A number so large my head was spinning.
Yep. For two years after college my wife and I lived in a shitty $450 per month apartment while we busted our asses, paid off her school debt and saved up for a down payment on a house. Our goal was to buy something either in Ocean City or Brigantine, NJ. Didn't matter the neighborhood or condition of the house we were going to buy not rent. Put a lot of sweat equity into remodelling. At the time it seemed like a huge monthly nut but within five years our incomes had grown while our housing expense hadn't. That's why its key to start young. Getting into a 30 year mortgage in your 40s seems pretty daunting.
Added that account to ignore.You weren’t curious with your other username(s)?
No t!ts?
None. Lived in NJ my whole life. That apartment was in the middle of nowhere near Mays Landing if you know where that is.
A goal of owning a house as close to the beach where you made the best memories of your youth and learned to surf is "fucking weird"? Then pulling it off by the age of 25......is that weird too? OK. I guess I'm weird then.
