Rolo posted:I went to a thrift shop in a trendy/rich part of Atlanta and everything was more expensive than it would be new because it’s “vintage.” Just curious, which part of Atlanta? My first guess is the Dunwoody Goodwill but, while rich, I wouldn't call it trendy and the one time I stopped in a couple years ago they only had garbage (though everything was a bit more expensive than usual for a GW). Does Buckhead have a GW 'cause lol if so.

I don’t remember what it was but it definitely wasn’t a goodwill.

Josh Lyman posted:I’ve also heard that indie thrift shops and consignment stores will try to buy the best items from Goodwill everyday. Not only that but some people make supplemental income by purchasing decent items at GW and reselling them at a local trendy shop. It's not super cool to do but sometimes ya gotta make rent.

The person shopping at the trendy shop wasn’t likely to randomly find it amidst everything at GW, I think.

I sadly at place where, barring a complete and total change to my work/spending habits, I will never be able to afford to buy what I actually want, so renting is likely the best I'm ever going to be able to do and less I scale down my desires a bunch or figure out a way to live in unpopular corner of an unpopular state. I will say though, when our last house was hit by a tree during a huge thunderstorm, it was so loving amazing to just be able to walk away from the wreckage without a care in the world.

I'm 33 and I know exactly two people my age in LA who own homes. They're a couple who bought a 900 square foot house in Boyle Heights for like 350k a few years ago. Zillow already has their house estimated at over $500k. On Sunday they found their dog playing with a spent bullet casing.

Rates are starting to go up and it's really lighting a fire under me to buy a place. I just have a fear of buying a place and being there for like 20 years. What if I hate it in 5 years? What if all of a sudden the violence of my neighborhood doesn't seem as funny when I'm in my 40's? What if Chicago deteriorates into the new rust belt and I'm left with a ton of negative equity in a city left best forgotten? My original plan was to just wait it out until the housing market pops again, but by then rates could be at like 6 or 7% and I'll feel like an rear end not taking the ~4% rate I got now.

The price of houses would theoretically come down since homeowners would need to afford the larger interest payments. In practice, ahahahahaha pay up. I'm also in Chicago looking at houses with the same intestine-eating questions.

I just want enough land so I can wildly fire a pistol off my front porch without hurting or bothering anyone. But I also want blazing fast internet and a sub 60 min commute to a major airport. So yea, not looking likely.

You just need enough money to be able to build an indoor range then you can do all the things you want.

That's not the point, the wild pistol fire just defines how much land I feel like I need. We are renting a spot now where I have ~300 acres of woods and fields to romp around, it's set the bar for acceptable housing impossibly high.

Channeling Coffee and Pie, I got my first 35mm SLR. A Minolta Dynax/Maxxum 7000i in excellent condition! It came with a couple lenses, 35-80 and a 70-210, huge camera bag, couple of filters, flash and original manuals. The best thing is that the lens for my modern digital camera are cross compatible, and because Sony stuck with the Minolta proprietary hot shoe I can use the flash unit on both cameras as well!

And you aren't looking at that thing in the snow thinking "Yeah this thing is going straight off the road the day I have any fun with it." ? As awesome as that is I don't know if I trust half the year up north to not conspire against being allowed to have a thing that nice.

As awesome as that is I don't know if I trust half the year up north to not conspire against being allowed to have a thing that nice. A valid concern, but it has AWD, winter tires, and winter driving mode. The clearance is low but other drivers will be the problem, not me.

I bought my house three years ago in an exurb, and the sellers had it on the market for over a year with no bites. They had also lived there for twenty years and only had 5,000$ equity in the house because of asbestos removal, new roof, new furnace, water heater, electric, etc etc etc. Fast forward three years and an identical house down the street from me sold for double what I paid, and went into contract the same day it was listed.
