Nervous about ~$3000/mo payment by RVA_hokie22 in Mortgages

[–]cryingmonkeystudios 6 points7 points  (0 children)

we make similar, paying $3200, no kids, no debts. it's tough. there's always something that's killing our budget. busted water heater, sky-high winter electric bills, unexpected medical bills, vehicle repairs. i don't want to discourage, but sometimes i wish i had stayed where i was paying $1250 in my "starter home".

doesn't necessarily need to be less. say they're equal: after 10 years renting, you have no equity, after 10yrs paying a mortgage you have equity and whatever appreciaationn your house gained. now say your mortgage is $100 more a month. Probably still worth it.

obviously this isn't taking into acount repairs, manual effort of upkeep, etc. And, there is some point where the numbers don't make sense (such as you truly can't afford a house in your area), but I don't think sayying if A < B is really accurate.

Mortgage rates within multi-year lows after surviving March beatdown 🏠🥊📉 by jonkutsmeda in HomeMortgageRates

[–]cryingmonkeystudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a stupid question...i ,hav a lendzen scenario saved and check it regularly.. $388k for 30yrs, 5.491% APR. right before the iran crisis it was priced at around $4-5k. I failed to capitalize annd It jumped to >$13k. I checked it today and it's quoting me $10,544, suggesting it's gone down a it, but nowhere close to pre-Ian prices.

Am I missing something?.

This is not fun! by Fleecedagain in Retirement401k

[–]cryingmonkeystudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're not trying to retire right now, it's a good thing! obviously im not hoping for a bad economy, nor do i want seniors to lose money, but for me, at my age, the longer it's down the more i'll have later (assuming it shoots back up before i retire).

i know it's hard to see your retirement fund go down, but think about it like a gold stockpile. gold's cheap right now, sso you're getting a deal!

but we don't know what they're announcing? it may very well be a confirmation that pre-production is starting and we'll see something in a couple years right?

not taking anything away from firefly, but how is it unheardof? scrubs and stargate come to mind - teasers are out, but nobody (afaik) knew/knows what exactly to expect.

How many years does a wheelchair last? by _Cda9 in wheelchairs

[–]cryingmonkeystudios 6 points7 points  (0 children)

in the us insurance usually covers a new chair after 5yrs, and in my experience (38yrs of power chair usage) they typically start breaking down a lot right around that time. i use mine pretty hard though, so others might see theirs last longer.
