      I've learned to act as if I couldn't care less if I get the house...but then we buy houses needing lots of work (hubby was a home builder/renovator/property developer for years, so he has tools and skills. When the property is distressed, you can act like they're lucky you made an offer and get great deals. Even if you can only do the demo and paint, the savings on a renovation can be significant. Sweat equity is where it's at.

He'll buil an addition too, if we want it. He's very gifted, so places that don't get any nibbles are prime targets for sharks like us. If the roof and foundation are good, we'll give it a good look over for possibilities.

      You're a little off. Avg sale price in 2022 was $267,549. If commission is 6% (sometimes lower) it would be $16,052. And you have to split that with other agent and other broker and your broker. So you get $4,013. With that you have to pay for license fees, CE credits and E and O insurance plus other expenses. Even if you sell one house a month you are making less than $50k.

Many ppl have gone without getting an inspection and ran into a nightmare and some don’t get it and they are fine but when buying something like a home I say get it, PERIOD.

      @@kabc8547 Exactly! We were looking in 2019, so the market was hot but not quite as hot as it is now. Saw a fairly new house and everything looked ok until we got to the basement. There was a random hole in the wall that went under the master (which would be hard for even an inspector to properly check) and clear water stains on the walls. And the front yard sloped into the house, so you know that's where all the rain water was going. We didn't put in an offer, but we later found out from our realtor that it had sold for $20k over asking with a waived inspection. 😮 If even us, the non experts, can see the red flags who knows what other expensive problems were lurking in that house? It's crazy. I would rather lose a bid on a house than waive inspection.

      Public schools were designed to be for those too poor to afford proper schooling. Then laws changed and almost everyone goes to the public school closest to their house and parents have no choice of teacher.

    • @naturefleur2062
      @naturefleur2062 2 роки тому +12

      Actually, public schools were created in America to educate future factory workers:
      “The education system as we know it is only about 200 years old. Before that, formal education was mostly reserved for the elite. But as industrialization changed the way we work, it created the need for universal schooling.
      Factory owners required a docile, agreeable workers who would show up on time and do what their managers told them. Sitting in a classroom all day with a teacher was good training for that. Early industrialists were instrumental, then, in creating and promoting universal education.
      Now that we are moving into a new, post-industrial era, it is worth reflecting on how our education evolved to suit factory work, and if this model still makes sense.”
      Why would it matter WHICH public school teacher teaches a student? Shouldn’t they all be qualified if they are teaching dozens of different students each year, and hundreds of students during their career?
      And a student is taught by dozens of teachers in their time at school, IF they attend the full 12-13 years. I doubt only one teacher could be blamed for broad gaps in a student’s learning. It’s the system itself, isn’t it? Oh, but we aren’t allowed to find fault with the system, are we? Only those who don’t follow the leader are we allowed to mock.
      I think it’s laughable that the system nowadays preaches tolerance and inclusion, but those who prize their tolerant views so highly make fun of unschoolers, who they see as beneath them, an easy target, and a perfect target for ridicule. When unschoolers are actually ahead of their time, creating autodidactic learning environments for their children who grow up to thrive in the world and also feel a sense of ownership and satisfaction in their education for the most part. Ironic.
      Maybe that desire to mock and devalue and invalidate exists so much in those who champion public schools because deep down the public schoolers are intimidated by their public school graduate peers who chose to raise their kids outside the broken system, and whose kids somehow thrive WITHOUT the prized public schools? Maybe that smarts just a little too much to let go unpunished…..Bullying, that’s not something you’d find in public school culture.

    When some of us late Boomers were buying our first houses in the 1970s and early 80s the elder generations were aghast that we were taking on mortgages at 8, 10, even 13% for 30 year fixed. My parents had 4% for 20 years on a $10 K house in 1960. My first house was a modest, much older house for nearly triple the price with 8% FHA for a decade longer. My mom is still in the first and only house they bought when they got married. I'm in the tenth house I bought.
    This was a very well done and funny bit comparing Millennials to Boomers. Somewhere in the future there will be an equally hilarious opportunity to compare old Millennials to Gen Covids or whatever the generation will be called.

    That was awesome. I think of unschooling as the "control" in the educational experiment -- when kids basically stay ferrel. The scary thing is that unschooled kids do quite well on all the standardized testing. There is a good reason nobody is looking at this seriously.

    • @omargoodman2999

      Depends on whether it's done correctly or incorrectly. If one just let's the kid lose to be completely self-sufficient in their own education (the feral approach) then of course it will turn out poorly when it comes to practical skills in society. The correct way to do it is to deliberately put the educational material within their reach in such a way that they never lose the intuitive and "playful" feeling of learning.
      The idea is that, at first, people learn because we *want* to; we're driven by natural curiosity and conduct our own experiments and research in a natural way, according to our own personal drive for knowledge. But, at a certain point, that gets overwritten by a different learning model; one where learning is work, it's a chore, it's undesirable, and imposed from the outside rather than a desire that wells up from the inside. Even if there's something you enjoy doing, if someone directs you to sit down and do it repeatedly, month to month, on *their* terms, just for the sake of improving your skill at it, even if it comes at the cost of your enjoyment, most people will grow up resentful that their joy was stripped away. Consider musicians who _love_ music, but get burnt out doing it as a job. Consider a programmer who _loves_ the challenge of solving an interesting problem by coming up with a unique new code structure, but gets burnt out from making the same old copy-paste programs with only the most marginal of changes.
      Regarding the Standardized Tests, I'm not sure if it's related, but I, myself, struggled back when I was in public school. I was a "gifted" kid, and let me say this, being "gifted" is no gift; or, at least if it is, it's not a cool gift like birthday gifts or Christmas gifts. It's the lame kind of gift like Hanukkah gifts or "I almost forgot our anniversary and had to get something last minute" gifts. I started off doing *really* well because learning _was_ fun. I took to it like a fish to water. But, as time went on, I became more disillusioned with the school system. I still loved to learn; one of my hobbies was to just grab an encyclopedia and start reading. But the *way* that it was done in schools was what bothered me. Most kids needed 20-50 repetitions to really solidly fix a concept in their mind; I had it in about 3-5 and I was ready to move on to the next thing, but I couldn't. I *had* to do all 20-50 repetitions, designed for typical students, well past the point of understanding and interest. To compound that issue, I had mild ADHD and, while the effects were being treated with counseling (no meds needed at the time), I was *never* informed as to what I had or how it was what was _causing_ those effects. So, when it came to Standardized Tests, I was absolutely acing them... while pulling about a 2.5 GPA. I could sit at home and run math equations "just for fun" or research a random topic that popped into my head just fine, but the moment it became a homework assignment, I lost all interest. So I get the distinct impression, given the similarities, that a lot of these "unschooled" kids are probably a lot like I was; gifted, maybe mild unknown ADHD, lots of random knowledge based on whim and fancy, and excellent when it comes to one-off challenges like Standardized Tests. If public schools were less "one-size-fits-all" and better accommodated people like me and other neurodivergent students, they could more reliably do things like "unschooling" the correct way.

When she finally found something, it was more than her budget and she had to wave the inspection or risk losing to next bidder. Big yikes.

I'm using downpayment assistance and my realtor said that some sellers won't even look at my offer since my financing is a bit more complex and requires an inspection. People who act like the boomer in a market like this are going to have a rough time ever getting an offer accepted. Hopefully we'll get back to having reasonable house prices again at some point so that we don't have to do things out of desperation when buying something!
