Is that a challenge to die before 30? Don't tempt me.

Unfortunately I fall into the millennial category, but I most certainly don’t feel like I should. I’m in my 40s, six figure income, house, kids, 2 new Jeeps, boat, muscle car, and I don’t live with my parents. I’m about as far from millennial as it gets. Meanwhile on the other hand, my wife turns 50 this year and acts like a 14 year old, so there’s that

Boomer, Class of 56. Retired early at the age of 60 from a natural gas power plant. Was the senior control room operator. Last full year there. I paid taxes on $178,000. Lots of overtime and a $52,000 yearly bonus. Wifey was the head of the office for a natural gas drilling company. 6 figures for her too. They gave her an early retirement package which we blew on a new motorhome. I maxed out my 401K for the last 15 yrs of work. I get bore easy. So since retirement. I've been a consultant, worked at Home Depot, drove semi's, now delivering parts out in the gas patch with a company paid for pick up.

Driving. I do about 5 over. Use cruise control a lot. Still have the need for speed. That's why I have the Nismo.

Slipping clutch and before the twin turbos.

Yeah, the money in California is very different from the money elsewhere. It’s worthless. If I wasn’t tied to the state career wise I’d be long gone in a hurry. I absolutely cannot stand this state but there aren’t many states that make this kind of income as easily as I do here. I mean, I can’t say easy, but I really feel like I’m overpaid for what I do here.

That's for sure. I moved to TX from the Central Coast but I was able to keep my job in CA. Now I just work remotely. It's nice here being able to buy a decent size house for $200K-$300K instead of $700-$800K unless you wanted a tinny fixer upper not to mention gas is half the cost here.

That would get you about 1,000-1,200 sq ft or so, modest home, here.

Or in the case of antimatter and matter, results in a solar system destroying black hole from which nothing escapes?

I mean that pretty much sums up a marriage

This is the closest sub 300k house in my area. The foundation might actually be made out of pallets

Love the "request a tour" button - open door, look inside, end of tour.

You have to unbolt the cage around the door first, otherwise the squatters will get in

That's crazy. This was the first house I bought here in Bulverde, TX which is just outside San Antonio but if you go inside San Antonio it is actually cheaper for a comparison. I just sold it and moved to a different part.

Here, you could get a nice 2,000 sq ft
