Homeowners draining 401k accounts to pay mortgages.
5-Points replied to edjr's topic in The Geek Club
Real estate is finite and, as such, it appreciates in value. In 1972, a federal minimum wage job got you around $14 per day. Today, the same federal minimum wage job gets you about $140 per day. Obviously minimum wage hasn't increased at the same rate as home prices but people working minimum wage jobs aren't supposed to be homeowners. Which is why the government needs to get out of the home loan business. ETA: re: my point about moving somewhere more affordable. When I got married, we were both working in Silicon Valley. We wanted a place in Fremont but we couldn't afford what we wanted. We could've sacrificed and got a condo, but that wasn't what we wanted. So we started looking outside the area. We were priced out of several areas we looked at. So we moved farther out. We finally found a place that had what we wanted and wouldn't break the bank. So we bought it. We dealt with a 2 hour (one way) commute for quite a few years while we looked for jobs closer to home. Fast forward to now, I work for the best company I've ever worked for, making more money than I ever have, with a 15 minute drive to the office and my wife works from home part time. People need to make sacrifices to get what they want if they want it bad enough. -

People weren't pulling down $250G's for running a business back then either. Wages were much lower as a rule. Therefore everything was cheaper back then, including houses. Sh!t, gas was about .50/gal in '72. It's all relative. -

Minimum wage in 1972 was around $1.75 You can't tell me it's that much harder today. People just need to move to a more affordable area. -

That track was just eating tires. I wonder if would have been any different if they hadn't treated the surface with resin. Good race. Lots of lead changes. I was waiting for Denny to say "I beat your favorite driver" during the post race interview.

I'm not sure why it's so difficult for people to understand why white people excel in a society that they created. If you dropped me in the middle of Africa I'd prolly be dead within a month. -

They prefer immigrants because they work cheaper and don't complain about sh!tty working conditions for fear of losing their jobs. I would happily pay more for chicken to ensure Americans get hired over immigrants, legal or otherwise. -
