		<description>Soylent Green:

Quit the man-bashing, will ya?

Your sexist bigotry is not welcome and it is not acceptable.

You can sugar-coat it in your women&#039;s studies, feminist rhetoric as much as you like.  You can call it your &quot;experiences&quot; and tell us that you &quot;feel&quot; this way.  Nobody cares.

That doesn&#039;t change what you are, and it doesn&#039;t make your bigotry any more acceptable.

If you want to slander 50% of the population, go to a feminist blog or a women&#039;s studies classroom.  Your vitriol will be most welcome there.

Here, we&#039;re talking real estate.</description>

		<description>&quot;Hey, Ben, money is safe in the form of money. Stop screwing around with it. Next questionâ€¦&quot;
=================================
Garth,
Are you advocating money  as money vs. currency (gold/silver vs paper money?)

Thanks,
S</description>

This will be my last response in this thread as we are veering way of the intended purpose of this blog.

I never eluded to the fact they my friends and I are wealthy or even well off.  In fact I would classify our financial position as being â€œokayâ€.

Marriage and choice of potential spouse is by far the most important financial decision any of us will ever make.  Greater ten times then deciding on what house to buy or job offer to accept.  That one choice alone will be the deciding factor on weither or not you reach financial freedom.  I donâ€™t see what aiming for a spouse that is at zero(no assets or liabilities) is a big deal.  I would bet $1000 that most women(greater then 50%), would say that  man at zero would not be deemed marriage material.  

When buying a stock we all do our due diligence, look at the companies P/E ratio, their debt load and ability to repay, management team, stock dilution, dividend, projected earnings etc.. based on these variables, the market sets the price, some companies are blue chips while others are considered junk bonds.  A company with positive cash flow and $ on hand is worth more then a company in debt with negative cash flow that pays no dividends.  Sorry if this analogy angers some people but itâ€™s the truth. All of the above variables can be factored into a marriage equation as well (ie. Emotional happiness, beauty, age, health, adaptability, finances etc..)

Oddly enough, none of us even want to get married at this point, no rush for us.  We get the same benefits without the financial or emotional commitments required. Most of the time itâ€™s the women that are in a rush to get married and not the guys.  Itâ€™s a major sociological shift that is happening now, just google â€œmarriage struckâ€ to get an idea.  

As for womenâ€™s shopping habits, this is going to upset some folks but here is how I see it.  Remember I am not comparing women to dogs in any way, just there shopping habits.  I have a Labrador retriever, when we our up north going through the bush, he will wonder all over the place following what ever he gets a whiff off.  No rhyme or reason, he just aimlessly wonders around the bush following his senses, left, right, around in circles, stops, then goes , heâ€™ll go one all day if I let him.  The majority of women in the mall do the exact same thing.  Think Iâ€™m joking, have a look next time your out Christmas shopping.  They will wonder around aimlessly all over the place, stop for no reason, walk in circles etc.. probely walk out with a lot more then they intended to buy.  

I apologize for the length of this post, didâ€™nt plan on writing so much. Anyway, lets get back to discussing RE news and events.</description>

R U 10 years (continually)  in Canada? If U R there or close - end of the tunnel is &quot;close&quot; - anyway follow the blog. Your PHD (if is not both on the internet) will find your place ~ Tesla, Einstein, and many others - had a toughest time (compare to us) but they did some big thing for us. Every time when you touch the switch, start the car or use Ur cell - don&#039;t forget them - respect what they did, respect older, wise people but newer accept if doesnâ€™t make sense for U (question) - donâ€™t fight without argument (U will become stupid) but also donâ€™t be afraid to be &quot;stupid&quot; from time to time. That is the beauty of life â€“ no one is perfect â€“ try not to be the scam.</description>
