Since I've stayed a renter, I've been living pretty high (eating out, attending sporting events, weekends at SPAs) for the past couple of years while also saving some for a rainy day. My friends, who'd gotten into housing recently, have become hermits.; July 17, 2006 4:05 PM

Same thing here. I've had to make new friends who live closer and have some money to go out every now and again. Until the past few months, they were spending their weekends reading "Better Homes" and shopping at Home Depot. In an amazing change of pace, they now don't want to put any money into their houses.; July 17, 2006 5:18 PM

A: Don't pay attention to the labor costs, because you better change it TODAY, otherwise it will be burnt out FOREVER! I can get you a great deal on lightbulb financing, only $70 per bulb---and trust me they aren't making any more photons.; July 17, 2006 6:36 PM

Just the one.

They stand below the socket on a stepladder, bulb in hand, and wait for the world to revolve around them....; July 17, 2006 8:25 PM

I've been advising my clients NOT to buy investment property for 18 months. Loads of profits were available to those who purchased a decade ago. I'm debt free , including the house, thanks to a booming real estate market. How about you?

I feel for those individuals in overpriced markets. Things will get much worse before they get better. The economy will lose many jobs prior to a drastic decline in housing prices. It will be difficult to rent or "own" without a job.; July 17, 2006 8:28 PM

Housing, if it weren't for the mania, is essentially trading futures in a bull market with a high amount of leverage? Well... if housing is not considered a place to live but an investment, then its a future's mercantile exchange bet with potential for a huge loss (i.e. loss of the downpayment/equity or even upside down mortgage) but yet, no one other than us see it that way. What gives?; July 17, 2006 9:05 PM
Anonymous said...: Because you're all obviously only considering the small percentage of the US housing market that went totally wild and is now full of overvalued properties with mortgages at 10% to 40% greater than the value of the property. This is not now nor has it ever been the case. Read the headline: "Housing PANIC"

One of my favorite movie lines is from "Men In Black": A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals.; July 17, 2006 9:56 PM

A. None ..The lightbulb WORKS Fine... The last " Bigger Fool" just SWITCHED OFF LIGHT as he RAN out the DOOR !; July 18, 2006 1:31 AM

The REALTOR who conned me paid a lawyer to threaten Google into taking down a blog that never even mentioned his name.

And when NAR's Board of REALTORS' "Ethics" committee forwarded all of the emails from me (the acccuser) to the crooked realtor (the accused) in an effort to make Brownie points and scratch his back, he thought they were coming directly from me.

So he paid a lawyer to threaten ME into stopping the emails that were coming from his own accomplices, trying to scratch his back.

(Is that dumb enough for you...?)
