Greenspan: Let Bush's Tax Cuts Expire

[Zebo]

To be honest, I miss my starter home but it wasn't "good enough" for the wife. We'd be really rolling in the dough had we stayed there a few more years.

I'm sure Dave will be along any minute to tell us how we're nothing but "rich" Republicans and how the average Joe's house is about the size of one side of your garage.

We sold our little starter home in Minneapolis and bought a suburban McMansion because I was getting tired of patching bullet holes in the old place.

Reminds me of a buddy who was telling me that his wife wanted to spend $700 on an ottoman -- which she would use as a seat in their master closet. I was like WTF!!

Most people learn after a single accidental discharge inside the home...

Well in her defense, my little house was further out from Indy and didn't have direct interstate access, so it was a PITA to get downtown to work. Plus the neighborhood was getting overrun by rednecks. Jeff Foxworthy could film his next special there.

Hate to disappoint you, but it was a part of your Democrat base that was leaving lead presents in my front door.

At least I don't think they looked like Republicans.

Edit: Oh, and I accidentally discharged in your mom.

I don't think the forum needs to hear about your accidental discharges, Jhhnn. I think they have medication to control that.

WTF indeed, Dude she wants to to rip out 24" travertine floor and put in wood now. Says it's "warmer" I'm like fuck here's a heated blanket have a nice day.

So, uhh, you were dumb enough to talk your trash in public, rather than anonymously on an internet forum?

Wouldn't surprise me, to tell the truth... How many times did you accidentally pop off a round fondling your playthings, anyway? I mean, you're kinda touchy about that, referencing my 79 year old mother and all...

 

[child of wonder]

Check out my McMansion!

I'm rich bitch!

You are obviously a rich, punkass, spoiled, Republican.

But you're a fellow Twin Cities resident so you're OK then.

Here's my "McMansion."

 

[BoberFett]

Wow, so all it takes is to own a typical American split level and you're wealthy? So what's everyone complaining about? Sounds like 50% of the population is rich and owns a McMansion. That's great!

Hey, she was hot to trot, and old women need lovin' too. Sounds like you think they don't deserve sexual gratification after a certain age. Why do you hate women?

Yes, apparently unbeknownst to us "rich and evil Republicans," most Americans live in places like this:

Moms? uncool. Just sayin...

We're looking to redo our downstairs floors in some sort of travertine or slate. Do NOT let her rip that out!

You know what pussy whipped is in dictionary? Zebo. You know who wears pants? Mrs. Zebo.

I wish I could sell it to you but when you rip it out it's like dropping a glass on the floor.

I'm not making more then that, House & Car is completely paid for. Tho I don't have a wife.

Well, if she does tuck me in, I hope she leaves a mint on the pillow too!

Most people that make 100-200K a year are usually the ones that are in debt and cry because they can't afford that "ONE" more item to complete the material loop of insanity. Then they wonder why after paying the mortgages on everything they supposedly own on paper it's kinda disgusting what most people think the 'American dream' is. Mine was to completely become debt free even if it meant moving down into a cheaper neighborhood. Tho I'm currently trying to sell my house.

In today's market 1500 a month in mortgage payments @ 4% should be able to buy you a decent house especially if it's on a ridiculously 30 year note.

Tho, why bother talking to you obviously you have no clue or you would know how bad the market is and how cheap you can get a smallish 3K sqft mcmansion.

Where exactly do you live that you think a $1500 a month mortgage buys you a decent sized house?

What do you define as "decent-sized house"? 2000 sq ft? 2500 sq ft?

Anywhere besides CA, NJ, NY?

Here is last house I built guys got it for $375,000 and it's prolly worth $300 today. With 20% down that about $1500. If I showed you the inside you'd trip the fuck out how gorgeous it is. All custom,10' ceilings. triple crown, 6 cm granite etc etc

Don't forget the DC, NOVA, and Baltimore suburbs.

My mortgage is $1344 per month (P&I, property tax, ins) and we have a 2,600 sq foot house with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, fireplace, 3 stall finished and heated garage.

If you don't live in a big city near the east or west cost you can get a very nice house for $200-$300k.

Where is this? That'd be a damn good price for that home in the Richmond area. I'm moving back up to the Baltimore area once we sell our house, who knows when that'll happen.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Yeah, no kidding. This place is in my town and you can have it for under $1500/month if you put 20% down, no problem:

http://mibor.ws.marketlinx.com/SiteContent/PropDetail.aspx?N=0&S=INR&Id=1113997

3600 sq ft, which is quite large. You put 20% down, get a 5% loan at 30 years, and you're looking at $1400 or so and that is at that list price. You could probably knock a few thousand off the asking price. Granted, it is a standard developer home, but it is OK for that price.

My own home is 2700 or 2800 sq ft, mostly brick with some cedar siding on the back, and was custom built. The people selling it really needed to unload it and I played hardball with them and got it for way under their asking price, which they had dropped several times already. They really hated me. At any rate, it is just the two of us with our dog and there won't be any little blanghorsts running around, so it is more than enough.

2000+ in a nice area with good schools. I've got a 2500 sq ft house and it's more space than we need, and we have 3 kids.
