After much discussion by the four of us, we've concluded that

pretty much there, as far as being able to afford something in the

collectively for most big purchases) has been to save for twice
the
expected cost. This has the effect of allowing us some wiggle room
with
purchase prices in general, not feeling like we're cash broke
after a
major purchase (e.g., with our two mortgages, we can afford
twice the
current monthly payment), it gives us the ability to incur
after-sale
expenses (oh, yeah, I guess a sailboat does need a mast), and
extends
the time before one or more of us needs to seriously get back to
work.
(Two of us will be standing down from active work for the better
part of
1-2 years, the other two will head back into the grinder in less
than a
year.)

I'd be interested to hear what those who've made major purchases,
such
as for a boat, have done (or not done) along these lines. Did you
pretty
much go all in or did you do something similar?


Pay off your debts before you incur more debt in the form of a
boat.

Just curious. How do you figure your mortgages afford you to
double up
on boat payments.
If you want my opinion, the four of you sound like a bunch of lazy
morons.

Shush. When the mortgage comes up at 17% they will get wiped out on
cash flow. Liberal debtors, let them run off the cliff.

But for plume-de-fumer, I suspect it is pulling our legs and
forget to
take the butt plug out. Think full of it.

You really have a foul mouth, besides being pretty stupid. I doubt
any
woman would put up with you for more than 10 minutes unless you pay
for it.

I know you have financial problems, due to you mismanaging your
money,
but there are things called fixed rate mortgages, just so you know.

If the rates go to 17%, I'll bet the bank will call your loan. Check
your mortgage. There is a provision for it. I hope you NEVER made a
late payment.

I'll bet you're too stupid to understand how a contract works. Oh wait,
I get it. You've never been able to get a mortgage...


Did you read the document, all of it? That's the contract you made
with the bank. Get back to us when you've read it and understand it,
buffalo butt.

Hey dummy... if you didn't catch it... I'm a lawyer. Some of my friends
are lawyers. We tend to read contracts. Can you read? I think someone is
typing your posts for you...

You are no more a lawyer than I am, but I have a job. And you?

Come on! Everyone knows you're unemployable. LOSER!
