    Type of spouse/wife for entrepreneur?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I understand the criticism from those who say not to pick based on beauty alone, but I wouldn't discount beauty either ;) I've dated all kinds, and I've never seen the world open up for me like it does when I'm accompanied by a beautiful woman. All of the sudden things are brighter, people...

    Existing home sales lowest since '97

    REAL ESTATE 
    Ditto... REO's sometimes haven't been occupied for 12-18 months... They've usually been completely robbed of their appliances (Most of the time by the former owner), may have burst pipes from utils being shut off in winter, and are generally destroyed from top to bottom. It's rare anymore to...

    3). JScott -- Tell me if you are having this problem also.... It seems like normal people are having more trouble than ever getting a mortgage.... All of the sudden I'm getting 3-4 offers on a house, and none of them can get loan approvals. That's slowing me down for sure. Everybody is...

    MJ -- The forums are sluggish... Seems like everytime I navigate to the main page, it takes up to 20 seconds before I can even click on anything... Like it's loading a bunch of stuff in the background. Everyone else -- I think the lending situation has really slowed down a lot of real estate...

    Finally got my rifle

    FUNNY 
    Well, it looks like we have enough well armed guys here to start our own private army. ;) -- We should all get together for a guy trip to front-sight in Nevada for some tactical training. haha - Hakrjak

    Laid off & need to buy a job?

    HOT! 
    LOL -- Pm sent... I've been through some pretty hardcore phases like what you describe above ;) haha... It definitely takes a unique person to be able to handle going without human contact with your co-workers for months, sometimes years at a time. That's the only thing I miss about the office...

    finding a deal?? SFH

    REAL ESTATE 
    Why aren't you looking at REO's? They're all deeply discounted, and some don't even need that much work. If I had more money, I could buy 10 today out here in Colorado Springs at 70% of FMV. Cheers, - Hakrjak

    A letter from a boss to employees about the economy (awesome)

    HOT! 
    LOL -- Hey I call people bastards & sons of bitches every day, as sort of a cheerful greeting. As a matter of fact, each time I see my brother I shout, "You SOB! How have you been?" and he replies, "Well, isn't that a nice thing to call your own brother?" Then again, I can't think of...

    Has anybody served in the military?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My Dad has a similar experience in the USAF for 20 years. He specialized in Intelligence and did nothing with planes other than ride on them all over the world. He studied satellite and high altitude photography, and circled places that he wanted the bombs to fall. He talks about the Vietnam...

    Has anybody served in the military?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Since Colorado Springs is such a huge military town -- I have several friends in various branches. Seems like every Army guy I know ends up getting out and moving over to the air force at some point. haha Either way though -- They all tell me that the reserves get a raw deal. They say if you...

    Thanks for that... I'll definitely be in contact with you & Jill if I end up out on the street ;) -- Like you said, for the time being -- I'm riding out this work from home gig, and pouring a lot of spare time & effort into my Real Estate business. Great to know there is still promise out...

    The "Safest" Place For Your "Assets"

    HOT! 
    I don't think that's what's driving the investing in guns movement. Not a genuine belief that chaos will break out -- People are betting on a national gun ban, and their weapons being grandfathered in. In the past when this happened, all the pre-ban AK's and M1's, etc went up hugely in value...

    HOT! 
    You guys are giving me some interesting ideas. Honestly I must have a limited vision of what can be achieved & earned in IT, because I've worked for the same large fortune 500 for almost 10 years now, and I've never seen anyone I know exceed 6 figures. I'm staying right now because they let me...

    The "Safest" Place For Your "Assets"

    HOT! 
    No, but it looks like we've still got plenty of everything here in Colorado. We don't have any state restrictions on firearms like some other places, so you can pretty much buy whatever you want. I wouldn't load up on guns for an investment, if you're thinking that Obama is going to ban...

    I agree with most of this. Also the biggy: It's become very difficult to qualify for a mortgage right now. You have to have a Fico score of 625+, which most buyers simply do not have. Credit scores are only going to get worse with all the layoffs occuring right now. - Hakrjak

    Figure this one is a given - Stockmarket

    Good story. I find this so often -- So many people I know have "gotten lucky" in stocks or Real Estate, and now they think they are the golden boys/girls and want to call themselves investors now, and furthermore want to give advice to me. I look at them dumbfounded and say, "You just admitted...
