Seattle Bubble Forum Archive

I'm in the "Under $50K" category, but considering that I recently finished paying off nearly $50K in debt (mostly student loans), have purchased both of my last two automobiles with cash, and am now socking away a decent sum of cash every month, I'm definitely not bitter.

I find it difficult to be bitter when I'm kicking back in the living room enjoying movies with my wife in surround sound on our 76" screen, or writing up a blog post using my crisp new 1600x1200 LCD monitor, or wrestling with my dogs, or doing pretty much whatever I feel like doing, buying what I feel like buying, and paying for it all with cash.

Oh, and knowing that I could quit my job tomorrow and easily pay all the bills for 6-12 months is pretty wicked, too.

100% Debt-free, and loving it.

That sounds awesome Tim....

Can you explain the free rent thing again. I still don't understand why your landlord won't charge you rent. I think you'll have to admit, that's extremely weird. I'd be a "renter" too if I had a rent free house.

I just picked up some renters insurance. I can't believe how cheap it was! I even got a rider to cover my wife's wedding ring as well.

We discussed the housing bubble and he said he sold in June 2005, then we hi-five'd. Now he's a happy bubble sitter too!

He mentioned that he has a friend that works for Countrywide who told him "you will simply not believe what is going to happen in this country over the next few years."

Either way, I'm LONG the CFC puts![/code]
