9/19    How many of you hide at work to avoid house work?  Eg, constantly
        using the I need to do this project excuse to 1) use cleaning service,
        2) pay somebody to mow the lawn, 3) eat out all the time, 4) avoid
        family visits, etc.  Has "I-work-for-a-startup" become an excuse for
        totally slacking off on life's other responsibilities?
        \_ Look, if I can bill $100/hr working, It'd be stupid to spend
           10 hrs a week cleaning/doing house work when I can work that time
           (for $1000) and pay some lackey $10/hr to do the housework.

8/1     Suppose your house is already paid off and you retire at 65.
        How much expense does one expect to spend a year, in the Bay
        Area? Property tax will be about $10K/year for a modest $850K
        home. What about other stuff?
        \_ I think at age 65, health insurance is the next biggest expense.
        \_ I am thinking that we can have a nice middle class

7[31    Suppose you have a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank earning
        minimum interest rate and you're not sure whether you're going to
        buy a house in 1-5 years. Should one put that money in a more
        risky place like Vanguard ETFs and index funds, given that the
        horizon is only 1-5 years?
        \_ I have a very similar problem, in that I have a bunch of cash

2/19    I just realized that my real estate broker has a PhD in plant
        molecular cell biology from an Ivy League school in the mid 70s.
        Now she has to deal with a bunch of young dot-comers, and they're
        pain in the ass.                        -Only a BS in EEC$
        \_ My agent used to be a hardware engineer.  He switched to real estate
           when he got laid off during the 80's.  Now he's doing very well.
