A house as a grad present from high school?
Yeah. It was the house I grew up in. I have spent the last 12 years remodeling it. My wife and daughter helped every bit of the way. My wife and I are moving to another state. My daughter is going to college in our home state. The school is 4 blocks from the house. The house is paid off and I trust she will appreciate the house as much as we have. This saves us on Housing costs during college and gives her a start in life. I know its a little uncommon but these are not common circumstances.
That is awesome for all of you. It is easier to study in a place that isn't a dorm room.
If you are or not explain in what way.
Putting aside my bias which some people can't do I will say no.
Hussein Obama and his administration froze all COLA raises so I could not keep up with inflation......Food prices at the grocery store have at least tripled.........Gas prices have doubled.........My stock portforlio is about where it was 3 years ago so I have only hold my own there..........There is total Cayous in the middle east with the threat of Nuclear War..........
<--- Mine came in animal print. :mrgreen:

That's just some piss poor investing, right there. On 4/24/09 the Dow closed at 8,076.29; the NASDAQ at 1,694.29; and the S & P 500 was at 866.22. Today, as I write this post, they are at 12,992; 2,957; and 1370 respectively.
Why haven't you fired your investment adviser?
Do you know what the Dow was at the end of the DOT COM era.....You can't figure it half way my friend......
I know this will get in the way of your rant, but the administration had nothing to do with COLA not going up in 2010 and 2011. You did get a COLA in 2012 of 3.6 %. The way COLA is figured was determined long before Obama was president. Facts, they are good. Gas prices are double, but that is what we call a free market. Obama did not cause that. Why do you hate capitalism? If your stock portfolio has not gone up, you have ****ed up royally. Your portfolio should be worth about 30 % more than it was then, which is pretty damn 3 year increase. The middle east is worse, but could probably be even worse with a different president, and unlikely to be better.
So sucks that your rant fails so badly, but you really should try for facts instead of lies.
