I live in nashville and don’t get downtown very often anymore. $6 for a beer while waiting 20 minutes to be served just isn’t as much fun as it was when I was younger
Been about 15 years since I’ve been there. Went to a concert at the amphitheater to see Journey.

Home prices aren’t the only factor in cost of living. Also historically home values increase by 3% annually, it’s not a stock, and if you’re paying three times as much up front it will take a lot longer to recoup that money after fees and taxes. I would certainly rather live in Miami, but as someone from NY that now lives in NC the city life isn’t for everyone and your money goes much further in the burbs
On that point, it's something I've wondered about a lot.

Folks who take transitional jobs say in coaching, buy a house, and then are out 2 years later and selling it. We all know realtor commissions eat up 5-6% of the transaction, but other closing costs are no joke, I've bought/sold a few houses. So I guess I'm wondering if there's a rule of thumb that says "buy a house today/sell it next year", in an average market, how much are you losing in that equation on average?

I.e. 3% per year propetry appreciation, coach stays 2 years, he's up 6% on the house, but that's all gone with Realtor fees, and he's lost a lot more on the closing costs for buyer and closing costs for seller....I often wonder how those guys do it.
 
My trip to TN was over 800 miles one way. We have a hybrid minivan that gets 22 mpg and has a range of 550 miles. We got there in a little over 13 hours. You can't do that in an electric.
Should just go electric, mate.

Costs me peanuts to recharge my car at home.


Was just gonna say this. Electric is fine for your everyday, local commute. It would not have worked when I was putting 20,000-24,000 miles on my car per annum around the state.

most coaches who aren't the head coach rent at first. they don't purchase anything.
