$440,000."

the point is that there are consequences to being a stupid buyer. I am just
trying to get people to think before they throw away money.

All well and good, but paying insane prices for real estate is a
"bubble" and when the bubble bursts (as they all do), the -ENTIRE-
country gets hurt...even maroons in Holland Michigan.

(Or doesn't your feeble brain remember how bad the -country- got hurt
when the "dot com" bubble went bust????)

You go sleep on it, you might figure it all out by morning.

I have it on good authority that there is only ONE maroon in Holland
MI. No sense in tarring decent people with the same brush.

We can't expect any better advice from someone who recommends that
playing POKER is a good way to wealth.

Well, there's -another- day you woke up stupid.

As different as "apples and oranges"? I think not.

"dot com" bubble = people paying waaay too much for stocks, then the
bubble bursts, then the -entire country- was hurt.

Per Mike's post...

Real estate bubble = people paying too much for housing, the bubble is
starting to bust and people throughout the country are starting to get hurt.

A virtually identical analogy (like all bubbles), NOT "apples and oranges".

You offering your opinion--

Worth: 2 cents

You demonstrating once again why you so richly deserve your "dxAss"
moniker--

Worth: Priceless!

I grow my own food (no grocery shopping bills), tenured teacher (job
for life), own a scooter, and have installed solar panels to hedge my
energy costs.

I also own a gun to shoot poachers wishing to steal my vegetables, and
live in a shooter friendly state (i.e. I won't get arrested for killing
you on my own property)

How is someone like myself affected by the housing bubble, except that
it provides me the ability to get RE on the cheap?

Yours In Christ,
John

Scooter? I own a 1961 Hecules (made in Germany) Moped,I bought it for
$350.00 about twenty three years ago from an elderly guy who bought two
Mopeds for his grand daughters to ride.They didn't care that much for
riding Mopeds,my Moped only has about nineteen miles on it. alt.scooter
