My old professor of Finance used to swear by those books!

Guess I should probably check them out. Reading is so old school though, I'm too young for that stuff. Need it turned into a movie, or better yet a reality TV show on MTV. :roflpuke2: :bowrofl: :rofl2:

:roflpuke2::bowrofl: some like Jersey Shore right, GTL beotch! :icon17:

Planning, planning, planning, buying a home is a tough decision, you really need to nail down why you want to buy. My wife and I bought because we were tired of throwing away money renting with no return on our investment. We lived in separate apartments while dating and it made since to purchase some bricks. Buying a house gave us a place to call home to build lifelong memories and a place to retire.

It pays to buy as much home as you can possibly afford the first time out and that this home could be your retirement home as well. We are living in precarious financial times, the last thing you want is to be nearing retirement with 15-20 years left on your mortgage and your only income is your retirement plan. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Things could get better and they may not, but if you plan ahead you will be fine not matter what the decision.

Hellz yeah bitchez! :rock:

Hmm we seem to be lacking a fist pumping smiley.......this will have to do for now :roflpuke2:

Exactly why my parents want to buy a house so much. They've been renting apartments for like 20 years now and want to finally get a house that we can own.

Honestly, if I had known the US would **** the bed so hard on our credit-rating, I would have bought a house instead of a Z06. I love my Z06, and knowing what I knew then, I would have done exactly what I did again. However, knowing what I know now, house.

Just my .02 while I am in my more rational frame of mind :tup:

just bought our house.. and while it's inflated for HERE, it will increase in value as the market here is only growing... was a wise move for my wife and I

plus, if I ever get orders out of here I could sell for profit, or rent to another military family

:bowrofl: You are too much with that gif. That was fun!

Yeaahhh, I now got a place to crash in ND right, right right? Congrats once again on your purchase man, it looks great with all the specs you gave :tup:

Can't stop laughing everytime I look at it :rofl2:

of course bro! :tup:

Bacal, this article might come in handy...
Home Mortage Rates Drop Under 4%

:tup:

Well, they are both deprecating assets right now...:stirthepot:

Bit more accurate now. :tup:

Best advice right here for anyone. Always, always, always do the math. :D

And good luck with your new home. Hopefully your market will continue to grow and you can build up some good equity in it. :happydance:

yea man... and I get 100 bucks off my closing costs LOLOLOL

hahahaha you had to bring that up Fusz!!!
That's so full of win!!! If you luck out you might even get a few more $$ in a few months. The title company made a mistake during my closing, they found out about it almost 1.5 year later as part of audit. I ended up getting an unexpected check for a few thousand $$ :happydance:

I would LOVE for something that epic to happen to me...


but I got a coupon in the mail from my bank for 1% off any loan that i have that comes directly out of my checking account LOLOLOL

Planning to live in 1600 sq ft for that long is impressive, or a super early retirement is even more impressive! :)
