My parents used to live in Los Altos Hills, CA, in one of the most expensive zip codes in the country (94022). They bought a bigass house in 1996 for $1.0M. They wanted to move to Oregon in 2014 so they decided to sell it for $2.0M because they found it "unconscionable" to ask for more than double what they paid. It's currently listed for $6.9M by the lucky fucks who bought it from them (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Didn't need that to drive them up, believe me. Corollary, since I travel there so much: You would not believe what an absolute piece of poo poo motel costs in Palo Alto/Silicon Valley. I mean the 101 is a traffic nightmare but when airport hotels (SFO) look like a bargain and are nicer to boot you know something is off. I eat the drive even though my company pays for the hotel; halfway nice ones are at top-tier 5 star prices these days.

It's not by state, it's what the lien-holder requires, and hard to imagine there are any that don't. This guy is hosed. If he dropped collision to save money and the insurance company didn't notify the lien-holder (which happens) he's on the hook completely.

Funny thing about real estate is one person's BWM story is often another person's GWM story depending on the timing. My sister in law took a big risk buying a place with her boyfriend when they were both 19 and a lot of things could've happened to turn it into one of these Reddit stories. To her credit, I've never met someone so financially disciplined to the point of being laser focused on obtaining home ownership. It also illustrates some of the opportunity costs of going to college; she became convinced she could make more money by just working instead of going to school, and she was fortunate her and her husband both settled into lucrative careers that didn't require degrees nor were tech based. Had she done all this a few years later chances are these opportunities wouldn't have lined up nearly as favorably. Though to her credit she was willing to make the kind of calculated sacrifices and risk many of her peers would balk at. In contrast they either take risks they can't see the possible consequences for (student loans for questionable degrees, horse mortgages, Truck-Boat-Trucks, etc) or they are aware of the consequences and balk at the prospect of things going to poo poo (taking a risky mortgage when you could lose your job or want to relocate soon after, scripting and saving for years for a down payment that gets gobbled up through future hardships, etc)

I kept praying to God not my will but His will and it came to me that the strain and lack of trust is not me it’s because of my son fears that I will do to him what he has done to me the lying stealing and cheating this has caused his distrust for you. With that came a release of pressure from my heart and mind and I could let go of all the guilt. Because I knew I had done nothing but loved you but I now know I need to stop looking for or depending on you for support. God promised he would be what ever I needed I just needed to trust him. For that I am sorry I did that to you. I kept trying to make be like the men in the Bible and Ruth when she took care of her mother in law after her husband and all his brothers had died; cause the Bible says if the father dies the eldest son is head of the house and so on but though are not of these times and that was too much for me to want from you and I asked your forgiveness Some crazy poo poo in that dribble. She's called him a pussy at the end in the most insane bible thumping way possible. Also accused him of stealing and lying to her.

It is a thing in NY, at least it was about 10 years ago when my dad bought a new car and tried to get comprehensive coverage. We needed to take it to some approved place where a guy took a picture of the car and like a closeup of the VIN before they would provide comprehensive coverage. I think it's supposed to be to combat some insurance fraud where someone gets comprehensive on a phantom car that mysterious wrecks or gets stolen shortly after and makes a claim.

Ignore John Smith etc etc but in case you didn't bother to read above, it seriously impairs your ability to deal with things and people when you are raised and manipulated by abusive narcissists for your entire life. People are not like robots that hatch from eggs and then consciously decide their personality traits in a vacuum.
