I read the industry is down about 20%
That has to hurt.

But we have felt a hit…right now a lot of elective buyers are holding out and sitting on the sidelines, so we are slower than we might otherwise be. We won’t be setting any production records this year, but still plenty busy.

Let the insanity continue to "expose itself" so that the minions can catch on and pull their heads out.
"Welcome to being an adult."
If you think there's a single one of us that wouldn't rather be outside playing all day? Well, you'd be mistaken.
As for,"looking at you, boomer"...?
That's too funny. Why? Because, I have only one thing to say to all of you that came after us; and, it's the same thing that was said to us...
"You're welcome & don't fuck it up."
bite_the_curb's 911 Turbo doesn't materialize out of thin air, and he knows it. So he's making a sacrifice (working,) so he can attain a goal. Bravo to him. Love and rainbows are free, but Porsches cost money, and they were made by people who work very hard. You have to make similar efforts to attain the capital to buy one.
the younger kids are latching onto socialism and the bernie bros because objectively speaking it is over for most of them, there arent enough "good paying" jobs to sustain a middle class lifestyle and more importantly, very few people are actually smart enough to become software developers or electrical engineers
until we have some sort of monetary reset, expect more wacky political ideas.
You've obviously have worked hard, and made good decisions so far, and for some reason the up's and down's of life have burnt you out , and it's because of "boomers"?
Not saying your wrong, and you're entitled to make what ever decision you want, but quitting is a tough habit to break. And making up new socially excepted delineations for it doesn't make it any less than what it is.
We tried for 5 years to find a younger guy to teach, and get into the trade.
They all either wanted you be the PLC/ programmer
guy, or they wouldn't show up.
there is little to no job stability anymore, especially in the corporate world. millennials are skating up hill
Stability? I've been at my job as long as you've been alive. And through hard work, ignoring the temptations of quitting, now I'm at the top. Of course you feel there's no stability, employers like me only see quitters these days, or no shows, or unwilling to put the work in. There are no simple answers, but quitting isn't one of them.
Hypothetically, even if you had the money to buy a home in cash (no mortgage)...it would be a dumb financial decision to do that...for example: if you had half a million bucks (more or less depending on your market) to buy a home in cash...getting a mortgage (even at today's 6% rates) and throwing the bulk of that cash into the the market and letting it earn interest (more interest than you'd be paying on your mortgage) for the next 30 years is the right thing to do...in 30 years you'd be mortgage free (on a home that is worth double/triple what you paid for it), and that $500K initial investment would be worth millions as long as you reinvested the dividends and earned on average even a measly 10% APY. not to mention the taxes you'd save via the mortgage interest deduction over 30 years.
So, even if you don't have the money to buy a home in cash, you'd be far better off buying a home, and paying a mortgage (rather than rent)...writing off the interest, letting the home appreciate in value...rather than paying SOMEONE ELSE'S mortgage in the form of rent (where they get to benefit from the home appreciation, principal reduction on their loan, and the interest deduction...and you get, well, nothing). To assume you don't have debt because you don't have a mortgage is foolish...you've got to pay money to live somewhere, and that's as good as debt.
this is my problem with home ownership mostly..its a liability for someone like myself
How is it a liability for someone like you...with a steady 6 figure income and job?
Pit Row
Home ownership doesn't work for everyone at every stage and location of their life and that's not a bad thing. The shitty thing is that today, in the highest growth parts of the country we are building alot of the same single family neighborhoods we were building 30 years ago. There should be more high density homes and better provisions for safe non-automobile transportation to try and lower traffic congestion.
First its because he doesn't believe in debt, and will never be able to save up enough money to buy a house in cash (when purchasing a home in cash is shown to be a bad financial decision for most people), then he has to be able to move to where his work is...
Not buying a home because you don't want debt is a dumb reason not to buy a home...not buying a home because you are relocating soon, or relocate often, or just plain don't want to, are perfectly acceptable reasons to not purchase a home.
I know my parents did well, and I have done well myself, but I will pass that on to my grandchildren because I know the world is fucked.
i like having cash on hand and like owning things outright
I bought my first home at the very end of 2005 (just about at the peak)…I was upside down during the crash…but, I financed on a fixed rate fully amortized loan, and didn’t panic.
I sold that house in 2016 for almost double what I paid for it in 2005.
Few people who financed on fixed rate loans and didn’t panic, “lost everything” during the 2008 recession. And you wouldn’t either.
(And when it comes to a mortgage, all you should ever lose is the home the mortgage has a lien on…mortgage companies can’t go after other assets to recoup losses.)
You should do some research on how to leverage debt….Financing liabilities, is almost always a dumb idea and should be avoided (cars, credit cards, vacations, motorcycles, etc. things that go down in value or have no resale value at all)…financing things that go up in value, on low risk loans, is almost always a good idea (ESPECIALLY when you’ve got to pay money to live one way or the other anyway…may as well pay your own mortgage-and reap all the other benefits of homeownership…interest deduction, principal reduction, appreciation-rather than paying your landlords mortgage-and getting none of those benefits)..
But…
During that time I recognized “being another cog in the wheel” WAS NOT for me. So, in 1992 I started looking into creating “my own gig”.
Started my 1st company in 1992.
In the 1sf week of 1995, I “retired” from Lockheed…
At 32.
I haven’t looked back since & I sure as hell haven’t had any “quietly quitting” or “Bernie Bro” issues or any other needs to blame ANYONE-ELSE for my outcomes.
Get out there and do your own thing.
You’re worth it.
Manny
