10/09   Motd poll:  how many CSUAers have children already?
           \_ More interesting poll would be how much longer
              until the child of a CSUAer flames his/her parent
              on the MOTD?
        \_ How many CSUAers are still children?
           \_ I would assume all of us are.
              \_ I don't wanna grow up, I'm a CSUA kid.
        \_ we're all happy creative children until the day we get real
           industry jobs, get married, and become house slaves (ie. you
           buy a 30 year old $850,000 house in Silicon Valley and spend
           all of your spare time and savings on house work).
           \_ While you are complaining, you seem quite proud that you
              bought a $850000 house, and quite happy that you are now
              a house slave.
           \_ Who says you have to get a job/house in SV?  I left the valley so
              I could have a house *and* raise a family on one income. -emarkp
                \_ where do you live? MONTANA? KENTUCKY? ARKANSAS?
                   \_ ARKANSAS, the state that brought you Bill Clinton.

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.
