It sounds like a safe bet to take you to the moon. Why wouldn’t you throw money at this crypto?!

Sure. If feasible. I know many that require two incomes, as the savings from one parent staying home don’t offset the loss of one income. Of course this will vary by location.

I don’t blame those that choose not to have kids or wait to have kids if you don’t have family or cheap childcare. Most can’t spend as much or more than their monthly mortgage payment for childcare and juggle all other expenses.

I don’t think you can quit a job and go on unemployment. He would need to be let go (and not fired).

LEARNING a trade is an education.

True.

The CDC will issue guidance later this week or early next week methinks that will allow you (and the vaccinated) to shed masks indoors at work. Probably a while longer for public transportation, grocery stores, etc.

13 deaths in all of New England. Just about ready to get to the point of eating a sandwich while pumping gas.

AI is coming sooner or later. Probably sooner.

We’ll be like Australia soon. New England as a whole is doing really well. Maybe we need to build a border wall along the Hudson and up along the NY/VT border?

We will definitely see a sharp drop off soon due to the change in seasons. Big test IMO will be next winter. If there are no boosters, the earliest vaccinated will be approaching a year post vax. Also, if only <70 percent of Americans get fully vaccinated, there won’t be herd immunity at that time. WW, herd immunity may never be achieved for many years if at all.

Still think that’s sometime in 2022?

We regress at least locally over the past few seasons here.

Crazy that BOS is now a 50”/year site.

Looks like that includes “total” (including an estimate of those not reported).

Yes! They’re back daily here.

At my last job, one of my co-workers, a widower, within 6-8 years of retirement with about a $1M nest egg was talking about this subject. He said he was giving his son his inheritance now with college paid for, creature comforts, a place to live, etc., etc., basically setting his son up for success. Once retired, he was going to enjoy HIS nest egg. Unfortunately, he passed last spring due to COVID complications in his late 50s. I sure hope he planned ahead just in case... $1M+, life insurance, real estate etc., can be a blessing or curse to a 20 year old.

Lol. Let’s all buy starter homes in Baltimore together. I’m in so long as you and Jay are next door neighbors.

Not Boston. Maybe Baltimore.

Buy more dogecoin and then you'll be in the 1.5M home in no time!

Starter homes around here are being bought up at $500k, demolished, and then a $1M+ monstrosity replaces it. Great time for FTHBs.

My brother bought in Lowell in 2015 for $265k. Zillow now thinks his house is worth $445k!

Real estate is outrageous right now. I bid on a property in Salisbury that got 25 offers after one weekend and a bid $45k over asking on a $365k listing won. (The winning bid wasn’t me)

Happy Cinco de Mayo. May all your dogecoin and crypto fantasies come true.

I had 71 XRP that got lost to the Bitsane scam. After that, crypto just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
