i think that's correct. Obviously no one wants to post in CD so the only other movie thread i know of is the red letter media one in gbs and it's one of the most AIDS threads on all the forums

the posters there don't like RLM or movies

make me the housing thread ik so i can destroy therich people that post like this

anonumos posted:

I'm under contract now, too. It's 1100sqft on a .75 acre lot that someone carved up and built 3 houses on in 2022 (completed this year). I originally offered 220k with 10k in seller concessions, but knocked it down to 5k back because the seller wouldn't take less than 215.

Honestly it's not bad for someone in my position: newly divorced, highly compensated computer censored, it's not edgy anymore, ahem, automated software tester. I have to settle an hour west of my office in Charlotte, NC, because my kids' mother had no other options.

But my company is very generous about remote work (the owner was terrified of COVID) and my boss is letting me WFH every other week, all week, matching my custody time. I'm fortunate beyond words.

My personal borrowing limit has definitely changed since 2020 (naturally, I was pre-approved for an utterly stratospheric amount back then). We bought our since-sold marital asset after selling our "starter home". The new mortgage was a stretch I shouldn't have made, but it was the ZIP economy, baby! We could have managed the payments.

However, I really, I really miss the house we bought on the other side of the city in 2015...mostly for the loan. It was only $900! With an FHA loan at 6%, I might be paying anywhere from $1500 to $1900 for a 3br "bungalow" in a remote mining town. But it'll be all mine.

As if anyone cares. I just wanted to upload my anecdote about the crazy state of housing near me and where we on 2020 and 2015.

Field report:

DON'T DEBT
OPEN INSIDE

It's just like the used car market. All the new cars sold during cash for clunkers have passed through a few times now. Everything newer (ie. nicer) is commanding new car prices and actual new cars are over MSRP. The loans are a mortgage payment unto themselves.

Similarly, any house that is remotely presentable is expensive as hell and gets snapped up, a fair distance away from town centers. The only things that linger on the market are fixer-uppers and massive new subdivisions, or houses in niche locations, like mine.

I don't know who can afford to borrow 500k at 6%. I really don't understand who can afford 500k right now at all. I don't understand how anyone can spend $5000/mo on a house AND a new car. But that's what everyone is saying: the premium consumer remains strong.

Maybe I'm a premium consumer, too. Maybe I'm just more catious. Maybe I'm a moron. I don't know. But poo poo's crazy out there. It's nuts. It's preposterous. I'm 40 and I've never seen anything like this.

Record profits to you all, and to all record profits. May it trickle down, as we trickle down to others. Piss party.

it's pretty common for big tech computer touchers in their 30-40s to have accumulated high single digit millions in liquid assets
the past 15 years have been nuts in the compounded effect of increasing comp + increasing company stock value and people end up converting some to cash as a form of diversification
