We live in the NE, extremely high COLA, not a dinky town, but a major city, on the east coast on about the same amount of money. We live great.<br /><br />Their issue is what are they doing carrying two empty rental properties? They aren't overspending, that's not the main issue, they make enough to outearn stupid spending. No they have huge fixed costs, which unless they sell can't be fixed by a $3 cup of joe.Living Almost Largehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06594523259748625997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-6762777490352119002006-12-27T16:01:00.000-06:002006-12-27T16:01:00.000-06:00I wrote about this family as wellLiving Almost Largehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06594523259748625997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-6052945760995801852006-12-16T19:00:00.000-06:002006-12-16T19:00:00.000-06:00I don't mean this to be insulting, but grammar is important. I think you could be more successful if you improved your grammar. I can tell you are an intelligent person, but poor grammar makes you seem uneducated. "I seen" should be "I saw". It might seem unimportant to you, but my husband has a graduate student with a PhD who could not find employment, using his degree. He was very intelligent, but in interviews, his poor grammar left a poor impression. When he paid attention, and changed his grammar, he got a good job. It leaves an impression. Just wanted to help, not make you feel badly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-83520464266215317462006-12-16T09:59:00.000-06:002006-12-16T09:59:00.000-06:00It's hard to know their whole situation. But you definitely have to make drastic changes. It was a learning experience through the year I was doing it. I think they are slowly realizing what they are doing. <br /><br />People will learn as they blog about it. That's what was so incredible about this blog. <br /><br />It changed me.LeighAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17897112049816596162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-50742480375454487172006-12-15T14:24:00.000-06:002006-12-15T14:24:00.000-06:00I commented on this story too. I really thought that family should be able to do better based on their income. This is not going to happen until they get a new mindset because they are still thinking of the high life.THey need to sell one property immediately and then they will still have one to get rental income from.<br />I thought this was a ridiculous story nevertheless and they should be ashamed to be crying about their income when they have so much more than others.lulugalhttp://lulugal.kevinlloyd.netnoreply@blogger.com
