Re: David Collum year in review
The earliest "year in review" from David Collum that I can find is for 2010. Does anyone know of earlier posts (and can possibly provide a link?) or an archive, possibly? I like to make an exercise of matching a person's opinions/predictions from long ago to their subsequent performance an...

Lots of noise and volatility ultimately leaves the S&P 500 at 3250 on December 31st- relatively flat. Democratic candidate wins the presidency.

Re: Dealing with a self-destructive friend
Funny, I just read a thread "Dealing with a Meddling Friend." It went something like "I am independent, well-paid professional, who likes to party and have a good time. You know a "let's have a good time because we are going to die any ways" type of person. Yes, sometimes t...

Re: Spending to Get it Out of Your System
my sister went to CES for the first time this year. She works for a silicon valley startup and her work sent her (all expenses paid) so she went. She's putting ERE into practice on the expensive west coast by saving 60%+ of her ridiculous 110k annual income. Even though rent is typically $1400-2000 ...

Re: 1% rule for housing applicable UK / Worldwide?
Very interesting! In the US, consumption of BIGGER and BETTER housing is highly encouraged because, if you sell an owned home here: You have to pay tax on the capital gains UNLESS you spend that money to purchase even more real-estate. It's always good to keep your options in mind :) You'll know wha...
