This was a great trip 🏞
Wish I could remember the reserve we were in. It was in the Stonington, CT area. We were staying at the Mystic KOA.

A Little Dirt Never Hurt | LUE Outdoors I used to think being a dirtbag when doing multi-day trips outdoors was unavoidable, but it can be.

Are you a person who rather go to bed clean on overnight trips (like camping or backpacking)?

My cousin's in Scotland hate 🍊 as much as we do 😅

My son and I spent almost 2 mos on the New Haven CT to Rhode Island Coast. We loved it! Son was considering moving there, but decided it wasnt the place for him.

We are in the process of buying a home: Sold our home fall '24, got a camper—we have been nomads since. Time for roots again. 🏞

a group of south park characters are sitting in purple seats with the caption these guys are only motivated by money Alt: Cartman from South Park: "These guys are only motivated by money."

I'm sorry!!! F'ing BS!!!

🧵 We're not wealthy. We arent even middle class 🤪👉 I am not some richy-rich defending my wealth; comments are personal experiences and a ridiculous amount of reading about the housing market + economy. 🤓
DYK: Gen X'ers hold the most mortgage debt. My gen seems to love being house rich & money poor 🙃

🧵 We are currently the buyer; been looking in CO and NY. Both have very overinflated prices (though, prices are starting to drop a bit in areas that are extremely overvalued).
For ourselves:
- Know what you can afford and dont budge
- Put down at least 10%
- Dont offer above home value assesment
🙂

🧵
- pre 21 prop prices were already inflated, esp in states like Colorado (where Ive lived since '98)
- There has been a low housing supply since 21
- Low interest rates allowed buyers to overbid (goes along with an earlier comment)
Its important to see the big pic when talking about real estate 🙂

🧵
- 2021 the world was coming out of a pandemic; markets were the craziest they have been in some time.
- Banks should not extend loans unless buyer can come up with at least 10% down. That is also a big problem.
- Prices were bloated pre 21 and heading towards another bubble pop (not as bad as 08)

Those are not the only issues, but I can understand why you feel they are the only reasons. 🙂
Facts:
- Down payment has a HUGE impact!
- Credit score has a big impact on the monthly pmt
- Buyers who offer over asking price; those people are a very real problem > Contributes to market inflation
🧵

MISS them!! 🤤🤤🤤

🏦 With 20% down, 30 yr mortgage, 7% interest... pmt is an approx avg of $2,250/mo. Still much higher than 2021, but definitely not $3k.

(2021 rates were around 3%)

The ordinary buyer (offering and) paying above market value is as much a problem as unethical buyers, investors, and banks.

(We have been looking for a new home since last fall because we refuse to pay above valuation or above what we feel can comfortably afford 🤪 We have been watching this happen)

Im really starting to wonder where you get some of your numbers 🤔👉 If your monthly payment is $3k/mo on a $400k mortgage, you did something wrong 🙃🙂

... This scenario happens when people overvalue + buy what they cant afford + high interest rates. I dont understand why people are surprised 🤪

A few more 🤗🌈🏞

Missing the beautiful view from our home in Summit Co., Colorado, but don't miss what happened and continues to happen there. People who know, know what I mean. Hate that saying, but its appropriate here.

a cartoon of fry from futurama with the words it 's getting a little Alt: fry from futurama with the words it 's getting a little warm over here

4 Corners States: We've watched temps slowly rise (= faster evaporation) + snow amts lowering, for a while now. Alongside that, CO summers are getting wetter and hotter: Hitting 90° at 9k+ ft the last cple of yrs!
... all of this was predicted.
(I moved to Summit County, CO, July 4th weekend, 1998.)

Pretty wild since the NE ski industry was struggling because (of multiple things but) lack of snow and warm temps for too many years! 😍

My mum grew up skiing there. She was actually in Montreal, but Jay was a quick trip over the border. She also skied other VT hills + Quebec, BC, and Europe. 🎿

Like to add that hydration + an appropriate diet help keep the muscles and tendons supporting joints in optimal health. Not doing so can have a very negative effect on hiking (knees 😉) You can be as beefy as you want, but if you don't hydrate + fuel, your joints will suffer for it.

🥺 So glad they figured it out! 🥹 Thank a God that research has come along enough, and more pediatricians are aware (enough) of EDS, that kiddos like Miles are diagnosed before permanent damage is done and/or a parent is accused of abuse. 🩵🦓🩵

Its like talking to a brick wall when you try to explain this to people 🤪 and don't even get me started on the poopy situation in the Backcountry where there is no snow. 🤢

I was turning left in an intersection when he hit me 🤪 The HS hockey coach saw it happen and helped me out of the vehicle as fluids were leaking everywhere—he was worried it might explode, as did the police when they arrived.

Really enjoying this book! 📖
