4:38/5:02…your rent is due next Tuesday.
Hope no one here catches “Legionnaire’s” Disease…
Is that house in Bedford Stuyvesant or Ocean Hill?
two corrections,
that paragraph on “ensuring our way of life” should read that he is for ensuring that our way of life is NOT threatened. but you should know that.
second, Obama may recently have changed his mind on gay marriage vs civil union. I still have to look into it to give a definitive yes or no. either way, he’s changing his mind on so many things, it’s kind of hard to keep up.

I see that ASSCLOWN is posting the same tired negativity here again. you all know what I mean, the coming “depression”, the “meltdown” ad nauseum.
So here I go again with a towering, irrefutable fact:
WE AREN’T EVEN IN A RECESSION!
check out the latest numbers, last quarter GDP was up at 1.0%. Don’t blame me, it’s the same benchmark they’ve always used to define a recession (you need 2 or more straight negative quarters to call one).
So until we even get to the recession, this ASSCLOWN’s statements aren’t worth the hat he sits on.
also of note, new housing purchases were up last month as was consumer spending. oh, and last they checked, the sky had not fallen.
while I’m on the information tip, might as well get some political stuff out. In case many of you liberals are too insulated in your cocoons, Obama is not the inevitable choice. Let’s highlight the differences:
Obama is against nuclear energy
McCain is for its use
Obama is for talking to Ahmedinajaad, Chavez, Castro, and probably Mugabi (he hasn’t made an official statement yet)
McCain is not for talking to sworn enemies
Obama is for running out of Iraq, no matter what.
McCain is for not running out of Iraq, until a civilized/western style government is implemented, and even then (like Japan, Germany and Korea), we may have to stay to ensure our way of life is threatened, a la Ahmedinajaad, Castro, Chavez and Mugabi.
Obama is largely against the idea of the citizenry having access to firearms (in other words, THE 2nd amendment)from his support of the total ban on guns in DC.
McCain feels that the 2nd Amendment ensures all others, and the Supreme Court just agreed.
Obama is for gay Marriage, thus squarely against the 3 major American religions.
McCain is against gay Marriage, but for civil unions granting the same rights, but not changing 5 Thousand years of religious belief.
the list goes on.

4:43, I bought a co-op, so I had to show at least a year’s worth of mortgage payments in the bank after I put down the downpayment, so I’ve got a relatively healthy nestegg of sorts. I also make sure to deposit the maximum into my IRA every year and save about 500 a month otherwise. I’m doing just fine. I know this will shock you, but I do something I LOVE thus the reason for the modest salary. I have tons of freedom, am using my masters degree and look forward to going to work everyday.
I’ll take that over a 300K salary anyday of the week.
I wasn’t bragging, but just trying to say that me and a lot of the people I know would have no idea that the world was coming to an end, if not for reading the What’s posts and a few NYTimes headlines.
I know there are people struggling, but these dire predictions about the Great Depression2 sound ridiculous.
katiem, I understand your frustration. The rates and rules seem to have changed several times over since I started looking in February. The Congressional bill also has a proposed $8K credit for first-time homebuyers, but there’s no way of knowing whether that will be cut before it gets signed into law, so I’m not waiting for that.
The biggest hurdle for me is still finding the right house in my price range. Once I find that, I’ll have to re-assess the mortgage situation for whatever it is then. Good luck with your search.
In the late 70’s and early 80’s the interest rates were 10%- 13%.
You all need to do a little reading. I’d suggest buying now if you’re going to or else in 3 years you may very well get a cheaper house in a prime area, but you’re going to be paying the same mortgage payment, just with more interest.
These low interest rates are not here to stay.
“So let me get this right 4:38, quality rich to you doesn’t mean being able to put down 50% on a home purchase?”
Not if you can only do it because you sold an apartment for a lot of money which you originally bought for nothing and you still earn nothing. then you are the same as the beverly hillbillies who found oil on land in their dirt poor neighborhood.
