Before 1986 we could write off credit card debt on our taxes.

Got may first mortgage in 1992/3. It was an assumable fha loan @ 7.5%. Couldn’t believe I could get an assumable loan at such a low rate.

I refinanced in mid 90's to 6.5%. It stayed around there for a long time.

Bought my next 2 houses in 1999, and 2006. Both mortgages were about 6.5%.
We have been spoiled with 3.5% recently. But savers have really took it to the chin.

Inordinately Right
It only averaged over 16 percent for two years in the early 80s. This is classic walking to school in 20 feet of snow uphill both ways.
well prices are out of control now.
yea my dad told me about it a few times.
You could always live in a car...
theres always that.
i was just about to ask a local who says he actually rents a spot on private property (not an RV park) for his truck camper, but he doesnt have electricity or wifi which to me seems kinda pointless.
You can get unlimited data, a generator and maybe some solar panels?
yea thats what he mentioned he a a generator, solar and his own internet.
its wierd, he has a truck camper and i met a guy in his truck camper walking the dog whos been doing it for 15 years and never has any problems, so i dont get this guys reason for doing it.
I'm sure taking a shower and going to the bathroom is fun .

haha sometimes i piss in the park when im walking the dog
i did it in america like that. vegas was especially bad for showers, the rec centres didnt have one, the only public 1 i recall finding was near red rock canyon.
id be more concerned about renting a dishwasher.
north america's future, and indeed mankinds future, is that of a flushing sound.
so i went to the french cafe down the block. he doubled prices on his cheapest crepes which really sucks.
he says in france they get 1.5 hours paid lunch every day by law. and many breaks. i couldnt understand how many because this guys so french i have a hard time understanding his english. and youre not scrutinized when youre on your break unlike here.
here by law we have 30 minutes unpaid every day per 8 hours i believe.
by coincidence he worked at almost the same job as me, but he had it worse. im not sure if they were unionized like us. anyways, he was constantly swearing about it.

one of my coworkers is from switzerland. he says EU has a different approach to capitalism than we do here. here the idea is "time is money".
