just bought a ticket on a rickety helicopter-NEED ADVICEgreenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread |
I just bought a 2 bedroom house in W. NC mtns with 5 acre garden spot. Told wife I feel like I am on the Titanic but just bought a ticket on a rickety helicopter that is idling on the poop deck. Plan to finance a second mortgage on it and keep making payment on the house in the city. Can keep this up as long as economy is good, i am a programmer so i hope to be employed. Will move to mtn house as SHTF. What are your thoughts on this?Thanks.

Half-assed solutions bring half-assed results. You are trying to have your cake and eat it too. A lot of people are doing that, and they are going to be sorry later.I wish you well, but in my opinion, trying to keep one foot in both worlds is like having one foot on a banana peel and the other in the grave.

Who's saying we should LEAVE dodge?I say, stay in town. Bring a big gun. Blow the scum away.

The economy is about to head south. Suggest you have the courage of your convictions. If you stay, make sure you can leave on 6 hours notice maximum. (and don't count on EVER returning)

it sounds like you have a nice vacation home. but i would have opted for something very modest with NO mortgage, if at all possible.
