Umm, you need to show me these places cause I sure haven't seen any. :lol:

"I hate credit card debt -- plus, I'm paranoid of the electronic paper trail ala 'Enemy of the State'."

Wasn't that CRAZY!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE that MOVIE!!

If you have ever been a victim of identity theft the same paranoia applies. You really change your mindset about paper trails knowing how easily someone can take from you.

ABOUT 5-6 Years ago My wife went thru the samething.. the IRS wanted to know why SHE was filing her taxes in two different states.. (Nevada and Ohio)... :lol:

You just reminded me of something that happened to me. When I was 18 I lived in Yosemite for a few months. I came home for Christmas, and my Mom was all shook up. Apparently the police from some state back east called her, to tell her I died in a car accident. Luckily the real me showed up. And this wasn't from identify theft (I don't think), but because of someone who had the same name and was the same age as me. It was weird.

WOW!!!! See this was the same type of situatiuon with her too .. it wasnt ID theft but more of same name.. the funny thing is this woman was in her 40's.. (my wife was about 25 at the time) :lol: :lol:

Buyers apparently still like So. Cal, and the ocean. (Except for the places sliding into the ocean?) But I have a friend who bought a home in San Jose 5 years ago, at a pretty steep price (something like $700k'ish), but now the homes around her are selling in the $500-$600k range. :cry:

I really want to thank the people that posted in the thread. :D


I am sorry if I can seem to get hot headed about certin topics but I hope you all can see its not that I want to be thought of as a hot head but more of someone that has passion in his opinions and trully wants to help.

Thanks again :D

Yeah my girlfriend is in the same situation in a place near the ocean, Oceanside, CA. She bought a condo, (interest only because she couldn't afford the payments) now her condo is worth less and they know they will have to move in the next four years because they still won't be able to afford the payment. She has already lost $50,000 in equity and she hasn't paid anything in principal. She is now paying what she can on the principal so that hopefully if the market turns in her favor she can atleast get her down payment back. :cry:

Sweet, at that rate maybe in another 5 years I'll be able to afford to buy a house. :lol:

Lets start a sweet how to find a badass job thread so I can come back to this thread with all my new money! :lol:

im telling you the hitman profession pays big bucks..just a few contracts a year..the paranoia is a perk :twisted:
