    I've had a 55 Chevy 210, 69 Z28 and a 65 Chevelle. No hot rods right now. Dirt road.

    How many of those people who supposedly can't afford a $500 emergency have been on a vacation in the last 5 years that cost them $2,000 to 3,000? How many of them drive a car less than 3 years old? How many of them have smart phones and big screen TVs? How many of them eat out 3 to four times a week?

    It's pretty pathetic. My 4 Runner is 14 years old. Not as old as yours was @SFGbob but still.

    This panic if fucking up a lot of our short term life plans (seriously) but unless we get into Weimar Germany with the dollar we'll be fine.
    Today, this is my greatest fear. $23 TRILLION and printing more by the nano second.

    We?re so fucked.
    Yes and no. We? are not Weimar Germany. Axe @UW_Doog_Bot - we go down, the whole World goes down.

    But still, fuck all you deficit lovers. They do matter.
    Deficits matter but relatively.

    A $500,000 mortgage in California isn't a $500,000 mortgage in North Dakota.

    Very true.

    My house has been paid for for years now, but I've considered borrowing again to double down on Seattle real estate ... move to better house in an even better hood in Seattle. People say, "you don't want a mortgage payment when you're retired." My response: I have no plans to retire in said house. But it will increase in value in absolute dollars, if not by % increase, more than the one that's paid for. No investment I've made has performed better for me than my house in this area.

    Leveraging can be a good thing.

    True. But that's a function of luck for most homeowners in the area. I'm sure there are some savvy buyers who were able to prognasticate that Seattle would have some of the highest growth in real estate in the world, and maybe you're one of them, but I'd wager that most just got lucky growing up and then buying in a metro area that eventually became an economic hub for the world.

    Then there's the unlucky homeowner who grew up in some second rate Midwest city who bought a house in adulthood when industry was still rolling there, and then proceeded to watch that investment plummet. I'm not saying Seattle is going to eventually crater like a Detroit, so don't twist. I guess my only rambling point is that nothing ever holds in real estate and who knows how we'll fare in the next macroeconomic "chapter" of life.
