Teddy kgb Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Just before the real estate boom hit here in 2001 I looked at my first house, it was perfect and cheap for being so close to the beach but I said for the first time in my life I'm not going to rush into things so I kept looking and house prices were going up 10-20k from one weekend to the next it was crazy. That house was 207k and two years later was worth 1.2 million.....I ended up far from the beach and paid 233k and in those two years might have hit a worth of 700k That house is at least still worth 1 million and mine has dropped to about 550k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol Aristatel Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Wish I didn't waste so much money in my mid-20's on gambling. Took a good few years and some very tough lessons to realize you can't beat the game or at least keep your head above water without some serious discipline. It was WAY to easy to dump hundreds a day online. I never went broke nor did I ever get us in financial debt from it. We've been fortunate that we have never had credit card debt. But I did probably lose a good 50k plus over a 5-6 year span. That 50k would look damn good in an account right now. This is why I bet so small online these days. I know how easy it can be for things to snowball and start chasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy market Similar story. I bought at near the peak of the market in 2005 for 270k. Almost a year later, house appraised for 350k. Two years later, we were upside down 100k from the original 170k. Crazy times those were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the past and the future are 100% Fictional.
