Re: OT: AARP

I agree with this, but I disagree with your arbitrary cutoff of $100K for a house in more affluent areas. Most people cannot just pick up and move to a different area like that *snapping fingers*.

With that said, I do agree that some people want more than they really need and that gets them into trouble.

I have no quarrel with anyone who wants to live in a nice neighborhood, I just believe it is inappropriate to extend oneself because they "want" a better neighborhood or better home or better whatever, and then complain that they can't make ends meet, they have to use credit cards, and the government is taxing their property to death. I think people should live wherever they "want" to live, but they shouldn't complain then if they've over extended.
