Goofballs on HGTV

Oh, some young

have much to learn.
Because there are some wealthier they are pompous? Some are, but some are not as well. I think some current leaders are pompous too. Bankrupt more than I also.
If someone can afford a stately home, I say good for them!
I recall one HGTV show where they decorated rooms with lower cost items styled after expensive designer ones. So if you watch, you can learn how to live in style with out an extravagent budget. They also always say paint is the most affordable change.
Some perspective buyers will scoff at anything about any property to try and low ball an offer. Some just have nothing better to do than attend an open house in their area to compare to their own. My brother in law listed their half million dollar Washington township home last spring only to have that happen. The listing said and showed pool photos, so why go and say you don't want a pool, then say you don't like the wood floor color when it was also in the listing photos? Oh, there are no granite counter tops. So you install them, then no one likes the color. Or the plumbing fixtures are a bit out of date, or the furnace is original. Well yes, the home was built in 1998, but if you can not afford to make a few gradual updates, why look at a half million dollar home? Try building a new one the way you want it for that price. Good luck. perhaps you do need to look at homes costing far less, especially since the asking has been reduced by several thousand already. That's the real estate game.
Even Queen Elizabeth is known to like some things simple.
One can moan all day long of those who have more, but doing so isn't affording one time to work at achieving more.
Hmm, maybe I am pompous. Owh behave!

Zealot's yell.

Composed thinkers evaluate, then reply.

Thank you,

For calling me young and stupid for the tenth time on this forum.

I have no issue with people buying what they can afford, I never said anything about that. Of course not all people of wealth are pompous, I would not even say a plurality, only a few, however, the people that HGTV focus on tend to be. They see one speck of '90s oak and brass in a house and they won't touch it.

While this doesn't bode well for one's net worth, it is certainly nice to live in a state where home values allow more to own a home. What costs 200k here can be north of 400k in many other states.

As to your second post, did you expect me to hit the caps-lock key before replying?

No, Richard, peace,

and I have never called you young nor stupid. In fact, you often sound much older.
I still learn every day.
Old guard is slowly dieying off.
I will too, but I try to be open minded and younger at heart. I have grand children, and I care about what their environment will be like, as well as their governing, economic, educational, social, and physical well being climates will be like. We don't want them to be like robots, or brainwashed into one set form of thinking. That's how we raised their parents.
If they wanted college, we supported it. If they had decide rather to pursue a career in using their hands either creatively or in the trades, we'd have supported them. Freedoms are choices. None are forced on anyone, or they shouldn't be.
Opinions are like rear ends. We all have them.
Kids in the 4th grade were calling each other Liberals or Rino's when I was in school. Both were acting very Liberal in fact.
