Responses:

Dude...having trouble deciding between 2 really nice condos should not be all that stressful. - Jim Nov 18, 13:07 42
- I need to run the numbers again. All the taxes, fees, etc....I hate money stress. -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 13:09 40
  - Give your money away to charity if it's bothering you that much -- nm - Amoxy's fortune cookie Nov 18, 13:15 1
    - SFAN, but heh. -- nm - con_carne Nov 18, 13:15
  - whatever numbers you run won't reflect reality since there are always things not included. Just gestimate and run with it -- nm - decline Nov 18, 13:11 4
    - I ran my own numbers, figured out my price range, contacted the bank, they asked me what price of house I was looking at, gave them my price range, - mara Nov 18, 13:41
    - Not sure what you mean? -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 13:13
    - you worked for Countrywide? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:11 1
      - I thought that was Jax. -- nm - Dano Nov 18, 13:15
  - ty, my friend, no offense but, you have no idea about money stress. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:10 30
    - True money stress? No, I don't, and I realize that. My level of agita just imagining the possibility of being in real money stress is - ty97 Nov 18, 13:12 28
      - I have been in a situation where I found myself in Manhattan with not enough money on my metro card to get home, and not engouh cash in the ATM to add - loosilu Nov 18, 13:17 19
        
        pfft, 2 blowjobs and you can get enough cash to go to Cali. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:18 18
        
        Wait, you get *money* for that? Dude! -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 13:22 4
        
        well, not me personally. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:23 3
        
        given your skill set. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 13:24 2
        
        sucking dick is certainly NOT on my resume. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:28 1
        
        That just means you need to practice. -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 13:30
        
        So can you. -- nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:20 5
        
        lucky for me, I would have checked my cash flow before going down there. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:20 4
        
        You going down? -- nm - amoxy Nov 18, 13:21 3
        
        not yet, see me in a month. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:22 2
        
        How is the search going for you? - amoxy Nov 18, 13:24 1
        
        yeah, the same here, and I did this for a year just 3 years ago. - groiny Nov 18, 13:27
        
        thanks for the offer, but I went with loose change I found on the sidewalk. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 13:19 6
        
        ...while giving blowjobs. -- nm - Dano Nov 18, 13:21 1
        
        quarters *hurt* the knees. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 13:22
        
        yeah, that probably paid better, based on your skillset. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:19 3
        
        Dayam! -- nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:20 2
        
        I generally would pay less when the giver keeps stopping to tell me I am moaning wrong. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:26 1
        
        And moaning at totally the wrong time. -- nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:29
      - try explaining to your daughter that she has to go to a different school next year - groiny Nov 18, 13:15 7
        
        Damn -- nm - amoxy Nov 18, 13:25
        
        Yeah...that's the real hard shit right there. I've never had to do it, cause my kids are in public school, but I can imagine. -- nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:17 5
        
        I am trying to avoid it, but it is a real possibility, especially if I do not get a new gig quick. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:17 4
        
        Dude...that sucks. We're lucky to be in a good public school district. - Jim Nov 18, 13:23 3
        
        yeah my parents did that once. - tRuMaN Nov 18, 13:25 2
        
        We have 6 1/2 more years and then we can get whatever we want anywhere we want. For now, though, we're locked in. -- nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:26 1
        
        my parents never had that problem, because we moved. - tRuMaN Nov 18, 13:31
    - *nods emphatically* -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 13:10
  - do either of them have an extra bedroom so that i could crash there when i quit my job and show up at your door? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 18, 13:10
  - me too. -- nm - starving child in Darfur Nov 18, 13:10
- hmmm, eat for the month, or buy that TV? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:08
Wait until you have kids - amoxy Nov 18, 13:06 14
- I rode the shuttle bus back to the office just now and my co-worker was recounting her fear of 4-Loco with her 16year old. - Mel Profit Nov 18, 13:07 3
  - kid stress is insidious. By nature it saps your ability to process and deal with it. -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 13:14
  - *nods* - amoxy Nov 18, 13:09
  - you can leave work at the end of the day. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:09
- I don't want kids. (Does that make me sound like a cold bastard?) -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 13:07 9
  - the girl I dated over the summer would think it does -- nm - dogbert Nov 18, 13:18
  - Nope, a realist -- nm - amoxy Nov 18, 13:08
  - no, but that's not really relevant. your situation is quite fortunate compared to the average human. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 13:08 5
    - Then again, I've been raised accustomed to a lot more than the 'average human being'. - ty97 Nov 18, 13:11 4
      - Sure, but then you're on a slippery slope to the "we make $250k a year and can't afford increased taxes or we'll have to fire our gardeners" argument. -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 13:12 1

      - I'm trying to give you perspective. You are choosing between some lovely options. what's the stress? -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 13:11 1
        
        most likely, I could not afford a garage in the neighborhood those are in. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:12
  - No. A cold bastard gets some chick pregnant and THEN says he doesn't want kids. -- nm - Jim Nov 18, 13:08
think about how fortunate your life is, and how few dependents you have. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 13:06 1
- (you were just in India, FFS!) -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 13:06
pfft, you do not even have other mouths to feed depending on you to make good decesions. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 13:05 1
- yeah, I don't process stress well. Taking care of a dog causes me high blood pressure. -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 13:06
