9/29    Angry 401(k) holders are calling politicians asking them why the
        bailout didn't go through.  Australia pressuring Congress to pass the
        bill to prevent the global economy from imploding.  Real estate and
        financial lobbyists massing for DC.
        ... Predictions?
        IMO, I don't see why we can't have a blue ribbon panel examine the
        issue and figure out how to inject the money.
        \_ i lost around $40,000 off my 401k..but i prefer preserving
        \_ I lost around $40,000 off my 401k..but I prefer preserving
           freedom instead of passing this commie bill
           \_ I agree.
           \_ We need a much more commie bill than this, one that partially
              nationalizes the banks and lowers everyone's mortgage. And for
              $700B, we could get it.
              \_ i can has a free haus?
                 \_ More like, you can get a 10% coupon on the house you
                    overpaid for in 2006 and stay in it and pay the
                    mortgage, instead of dumping yet another Notice of
                    Default on an overstressed financial system.

                       \_ Huh?
                    \_ I'd be curious how many people actually want to keep
                       the mortages.  House flippers probably don't want to.
                       I also met a couple that bought a house pretty cheap 15
                       years ago, but pulled out tons of equity, and have now
                       been foreclosed.  Do they actually want the house?  I
                       don't know.

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.
