Seattle Too Pricey for Normal People?

with lead.

Has she evah hear of cardboard? Boxes are affordable. And with cardboard, 3v3n semi water-resist!

Plus, she can use one of the new mortgage options, like a negative amortization interest only package that might make sense in her situation.

 

Your inhumanity knows no bounds.

 

ah hell, that's it? i was expecting a raving kerfoon about house price bubbles and bonds and market principles with attendant cutnpastes! i guess i'll just have to agree and say negams are a pretty crappy idea (although certain interest only's make great sense, given the right situation!).

Real estate agents either have tried to shoehorn us into tiny condos, or clucked sympathetically and suggested moving "at least an hour out of town." I've lectured many of them about our situation: "We moved here to be part of the city. We're good citizens and interesting, productive people. We're just not, at this stage of life, willing to spend every penny on a house. We need to save something for retirement."

 

There are so many things wrong with this paragraph. I'm sure the real estate agents were really fucking interested in that lecture. As new empty-nesters ready for adventure, starting to save for retirement while buying a house is a pretty good call. Oh, and wtf do they think money put into a house IS?

 

What does she even want? Should hard-working people with good hearts and the best intentions get cheaper mortgages? Should real estate agents be able to conjure cheaper houses?

 

Economics are a bitch. Anyway there's a conversation here.

i'm amused by the anger that her pretty innocuous letter is eliciting! Why the hostility?

[Dechristo]

Cuz she's a whining fucking bitch with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement? Just a guess....

[sexual_chocolate]

ahh the irony: bitching about (kind of) bitching!

Keep backpedaling SC. Neg amort and interest only home loans are pretty stupid for the average homebuyer.

Metabitching is my favorite.

backpedaling? from? if a buyer doesn't understand the life-cycle of an interest only or neg am loan, or understands yet is in denial about its impacts on future abilities to pay, or uses it in a situation where it probably shouldn't be used, then these types of loans are not a good idea. some lenders are tightening up policy, because they see the handwriting on the wall.

[chucK]

What's better, an interest only loan or renting?

 

Please factor into your decision the assumption that in 30 years you're not going to be retiring and needing a place to live out your "golden years". In 30 years you're going to be decomposing.

$1500 for 4 months of heating oil. Crap what they live in shorts??

Meanwhile in the real world, the handyman at my fiance's ghetto apartment shot his girlfriend in the head on Sunday, then drove over to the vacant apartment upstairs from ours and hanged himself while we were asleep.

 

But I make these sacrifices so that I can ski on every day off and eat out at restaurants whenever I damn well please. Move to the ghetto, bitch.

[archenemy]

I'll bet their place will rent for cheap.

Did stuff drip through your ceiling?

[Mr_Phil]

backpedaling? from?

 

First you say

 

she can use one of the new mortgage options, like a negative amortization interest only package that might make sense in her situation.

 

then you say

 

i guess i'll just have to agree and say negams are a pretty crappy idea.

 

Geez, dude, make up your mind.

[Weekend_Climberz]

Bitch needs to find a sugar daddy and ditch the dead beat hubby.

[underworld]

but he has a 'cool' artsy job. sooooo noble.

 

instead of one of the capitolistic jobs that actually pays the bills

[archenemy]

Funny how that works.

[counterfeitfake]

He's her boyfriend, not hubby, btw.

[archenemy]

whatever.

[Dechristo]

but he has a 'cool' artsy job. sooooo noble.

My woman knows I have an "artsy job" waiting for me, so she doesn't dare ask me to get a "real job that pays the bills".

 

 

I'll paint the walls with her blood

i was trolling for jayb, and later in the thread bemoaned the fact that my attempt elicited something far short of what i was expecting. alas!

i hate having to explain something of this nature, but you were so sincere in your protestations....
