Wow, that is an impressively detailed answer. Better than I deserve. Let me cogitate on it (I have been having trouble with reply button in Kinja for days, thus the late reply)....

Sorry for late reply, I have not been able to make Kinja reply button work for me. Maybe they’re sending me a hint?

Cool, look forward to it. Oh, and how is Minneapolis? That is on my list of cities I think would be great to live in. Agree, disagree? How actually bad are the winters?

Nuke all allies from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

And for an expert, with a real world scenario:

“A lot of people will tell you that buying a home is a good investment, but “that couldn’t be further from the truth,” says Peter Mallouk, a certified financial planner and president of wealth management firm Creative Planning.

I have no doubt your challenge is often failed, as the challenge itself lacks so many important variables as to be meaningless. Over any substantial length of time, the stock market outperforms real estate market. By a lot. “But what about rent!!! You’re just throwing money down a hole!!! Mortgages build equity!”

Yes,…

Sure. Here is a good article on the subject:

That is completely untrue. It is the reverse of what you wrote. A quick Google will reveal this to you. There may be certain special situations where renting is better. For example, if you are in a rent-controlled or stabilized apartment, you might be doing a lot better. Or if you are able to foretell the future, and…

May I ask where you live? If you paid 7500 down, that is $37,500 for the condo,…

“Buying a house is a major financial decision that can give you peace of mind and a wonderful place to live. But it’s not an investment.”

Hey Ray, typo alert (unless it is an in joke I’m missing?)...

Also tell them under (almost) no circumstances to buy a house, but invest instead.

Nice article. But still, fuck Duke.

Why are you spreading fake news? We have proof that it is smallish, but with a giant toadstool head and yeti pubes. #MAGA

We should also do away with weight classes in boxing. It isn’t fair to large men not to allow them to compete with smaller men.

Perhaps the Lakers should switch to all cotton uniforms? It breathes, you know.

Wait! Do you NYC people not see the incredible opportunity here? Put Trump’s name on everything in NYC, every single apartment and office building, and watch the vacancy rate plummet and the housing crisis end!

No offense, but if you named your daughter Khaleesi, I have no sympathy for you.

Did anyone on staff really care about AAF? Or going to care about XFL? I mean, those are not after all GLORY BOYZ but lunchpail guys who play for the love of the game like Trent Richardson... right?
