You can check DANC joe is right. It was mid and post pandemic and after the free cheese. We were actively looking in boca/Delray even Wellington in 2019 and prices were cheap then 2021 they skyrocketed. Great job bidenomics

As I recall, it was like a very sharp and small window of when it happened, just from memory. Like threading a needle tight. RE agents were suddenly in OMFG territory.
F cking finance guys shit. Always the right moves. @larsIU tell your daughter no law bullshit. Just study money
i will add to this @larsIU @BradStevens i like fing with the lefties on here but i'm doing a million things and really am just playing. twenty's posts honestly irritate me. why would it be so bad if we told our kids this is a list of majors i will pay for: money, money, money, or engineering, or computer science. some adjacent majors but you get the drift. shit is crazy expensive. the luxury of studying for fun, for your edification, is over save for a choice percentage with FU money.
Nope. The beer drinking one was a very good friend though. She and her 24 year old daughter attended my wedding.
Comparing a theater degree to the majority of liberal arts majors is wrong. Good programs in the sciences, philosophy, history, economics, poly sci, or the classics will teach a person how to think critically. Hopefully, you can get exposure to all of those areas. That skill will be even more important in an age of AI.
i don't know. i'm not sure critical thinking is all that it's cracked up to be. i majored in poly sci, minored in history, got a master's in the same bs. i think today you need a more regimented path. it's too easy to find yourself adrift otherwise. i know we've talked about this stuff in other threads
We visited IU today. Again, math is EASY for her but she could care less. Walked past Kelly and advised she could get rich with a degree in finance. She likes math. Richest people in the world are in finance which requires, you know, math.
I’m actually going the other way. All we’ve done is provide a bunch of grads they can’t think and can only produce more sophisticated and ridiculous financial products. The majority of jobs in America would be better off with a liberal arts grad in them. Outside of those that simply demand a stem degree.
Nothing screams "hire me" on a resume like "I learned how to think" and "I can act".
honestly i haven't had a boss in over 20 years and don't really know. but it seems to me that while america may be better off with a lib arts grad filling these jobs that's not the rules and the game that is being played. when i was at iu my good buddy's older brother came to campus to interview for grant thornton. he wasn't interviewing in spea. when farva goes back for interviews neither will he. now when state agencies do, or the feds, they will. but it seems everything is regimented and you don't want to be pigeonholed without the same opportunities. and again with this state of affairs you have to focus on money - sadly
i think you're right. when the hiring bot is culling through 600 resumes that won't fly.
My rec: double major in math and whatever humanity she truly enjoys. Then do a Joint JD/MBA program. Lots of good ones out there. Some you can finish in three years. At most 4. She’ll be set at that point. Then you can give me a good rec and I’ll go work for her.
I think criticallly and the only two things I have to show for it are Bitcoin and saggy balls. Not sure which one will let me down first 🤷🏻♂️ My advice? Get the engineering degree.
yeah that's spot on. i was jogging one time and saw a classmate come out of i guess where kelley was and i go "what are you doing in there?" and he said he was doing the joint program and had class. i said oh wow. what are those students like: and he goes.
All I know is my experience. I'm not saying they didn't go up after Covid - of course they did. But the trend was going up before then - at least from my experience.You can check DANC joe is right.

Freddie Mac house price index change 1990-2023 | Statista
How much have home values increased since 2020? House prices experienced a double-digit percentage growth, according to the Freddie Mac index.
You mean the price of EVs has dropped - because no one wants them.
Our annual in Auburn is tentatively scheduled for mid sept. Details to follow. stay on this course
lots of people have money. stock market, boomers, etc. biden F'D the people he panders to most. growing divide between rich and poor
Zeke is just reminiscing about all the government checks Biden handed out. She doesn't realize it's all spent.
Yeah I know what you mean. I had some student loans at one time at real low interest but eventually just paid them off even though it was a bad financial move. Same thing with our house. It just feels good to not owe anyone anything. Now I have financed a couple cars at 0% interest... I can be bought. 🤣
You forgot the Lottery tix and smokes
So we had a friend who worked at Sidley in the tower in ny. The plane hit the tower in the morning on 911 and by afternoon he was set up at a table in a makeshift office and went right on billing.
No doubt he billed the time it took to get out and over to the other office: Travel to doc retention areas—.7 hrs.
I quit smoking and I’ve never been a gambler. I won 20 bucks on a scratch off 20 years ago and haven’t bought one since.
Our building was getting bomb threats and the head of our firm sent everyone to lunch and said to prepare to come back after we get more info. Well we went to lunch and I got super super drunk. Then about 2:30 he said to come back as they were getting ready to go back in.
I call those wounded cougars in need of love.
How dare you mock Mark's retirement plan.
I've waited while they scratched them off at the damn counter.
He's transparently trying to buy votes at this point. We'll pay your student loans, we'll empty the petroleum reserves, we'll give you a $400 tax credit on a first time home purchase, we'll send a 300 million dollar pier to Gaza that falls apart and has pieces wash up on the beach miles down shore, while 100% of the aid from said pier is commandeered by Hamas.
