    - But it would never happen to ME! -- nm - nubby Jul 1, 13:38 29
      - re JD's point: I have lived P2P and it really sucks. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:42

        For the past 10 years or so. -- nm - nubby Jul 1, 13:46 26

        I don't think you understsand what P2P really means. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:49 20
        
        Ummm, his current need to live P2P is going away and he's seeking to replace said bill with a new bill - Will Hunting Jul 1, 13:50 4
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Picard Jul 1, 13:54
        
        that's not the usual usage. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:52 2
        
        Usual usage means you pay your bills and you have no money left. - Will Hunting Jul 1, 13:54 1
        
        I have no idea what P2P means either if not what you said. we can be wrong *together*! -- nm - campus wifi loves mandy lane Jul 1, 14:01
        
        Maybe not. My definition is - nubby Jul 1, 13:50 14
        
        If you can afford to pay down debt, that's essentially the same as saving, is it not? -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 13:59 8

        Can you explain that again, but this time so you actually sound like you know what you're talking about? - znufrii Jul 1, 14:10 6
        
        I will attempt (but please someone correct if I get it wrong). - loosilu Jul 1, 14:12 5
        
        what you're describing seems to be to be a distinction without a difference. - znufrii Jul 1, 14:18 3
        
        yikes. Well, - loosilu Jul 1, 14:18 2
        
        what, exactly, am I missing? -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:22 1
        
        in one you gain, in the other you lose. - loosilu Jul 1, 14:23
        
        or another way to say it... - loosilu Jul 1, 14:13
        
        it means after you pay your bills, you have no money left. - loosilu Jul 1, 13:51 4
        
        That's what he just said. nm - Dignan Jul 1, 13:52 3
        
        spoil. - loosilu Jul 1, 13:55 2
        
        Let me know when you can spend a living room for food. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 1, 13:55 1
        
        if it's not spendable, it's not a safety net. - loosilu Jul 1, 13:56
        
        well, that is his teaching paycheck - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:48
        
        I hope you have some sort of backup. I ended up couch surfing for a year when things went south. - loosilu Jul 1, 13:46
Why? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 1, 13:33
to what end? -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 13:32 24
- To buy his beachfront house, I assume. -- nm - mara Jul 1, 13:34
- To own a beach house, with instant equity and huge resale potential. -- nm - nubby Jul 1, 13:33 22
  - Depends on job stability, but I would think so. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 13:36
  - primary residence? I'd say yes. -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 13:35
  - What happened? Thought you had things settled up front already? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 1, 13:34 19
    - It's a complicated situation. - nubby Jul 1, 13:36 18
      - what's your plan if something bad happens? -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:42 7
        
        I have a safety net. (nm) - nubby Jul 1, 13:45 1
        
        so it's not really P2P. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:47
        
        perhaps he needs to start a secret program where his students provide him with meals - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:43 4
        
        I'm just saying, if you go into the deal stretched to the max, you are totally effed if anything should happen. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:44 3
        
        Exactly. - nubby Jul 1, 13:55 1
        
        I would not do it. I spent too many years on the financial edge. never again. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:57
        
        oh I understand what you are saying - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:47
      - aww, so the bank is making it cost more than you thought? - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:37 2
        
        Yeah, I've got all the numbers, I just have to decide if I want to do it. -- nm - nubby Jul 1, 13:38 1
        
        tough call really. - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:41
      - If you think the place has value in the short-term, I say go for it. - Will Hunting Jul 1, 13:37 6
        
        You should see my spreadsheet. It's fabulous. -- nm - nubby Jul 1, 13:38 5
        
        but does it include vegas 2010? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:40 4

        dont forget the "nubby house drinking tax" of up to $0.25 per litre of liquor consumed while staying at the nubby house. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:42 2
        
        .35 -- nm - Remlik Jul 1, 13:44
