Why would it, now that the $500/mo. discount on FHA insurance is gone? lol

Ironic that the only person in this forum who hasn't improved his finances over the last eight years is the one arrogantly laughing at this discount.

Let's see. You don't get where he did if your stupid.

But let's get real... His anti-trade stance might be great for the mid-west blue collars. But being anti-trade is going to hit the coasts hard. And lets just imagine the "yuge" uptick in manufacturing midwestern jobs doesn't materialize; and he damages the states that have been making the money? That sure sounds like a disaster in my book.

Sounds like a disaster..... perhaps it will be. Time will tell.
Many folks had no doubt he would never be President, guess they never imagined...

Florida is number two behind California re: poverty rate...another nice weather state.
I believe California also has the highest individual income tax rates.
Florida has no state individual income tax.

Yea... but I think it's because they have a high inheritance tax and property taxes. Everybody pays.

Death and taxes Lion. I accept that much as true. Which means if the cost of my taxes goes up having to cover the taxes then other people are finding loophole out of then I see it as getting stolen from. I also suppose I could get angry about the poor, but in the end regardless of my feeling, they don't have money anyway. So it's like a distraction if we're talking solutions instead of feeling bad for yourself.

It's not ironic. I don't pay PMI. I put 20% skin in the game to avoid "the onerous tax". When Ms. IZ and I were DINKS we saved 7 years worth of salaries to get a down payment that would keep us from going underwater during the crisis.

Most of my finances are at work. My employee$ never complain, never get sick, and never take a day off. My financial success is for later.

Judging from the generally surprised reactions out of everyone once they heard he won... my read is it sure seemed like a lot of the people who voted Trump hadn't really imagined he'd win either.

So I guess I'm not alone-
 
From the NY Times:
By ANDREW ROSS SORKINAPRIL 28, 2016

A large swath of the nation has dropped out of the labor force completely, and the reality for the average American family is that its household income is $4,000 less than it was when Bill Clinton left office. Economic inequality, meanwhile, has only grown worse, with the top 1 percent of American households taking in more than half of the recent gains in income growth. “Millions and millions and millions and millions of people look at that pretty picture of America he painted and they cannot find themselves in it to save their lives,” Clinton himself said of Obama’s economy in March, while on the campaign trail for his wife. “People are upset, frankly; they’re anxiety-ridden, they’re disoriented, because they don’t see themselves in that picture.”

Well onc can always "spite their nose to fix their face." The coasts are the midwest biggest trade partner. As partisan as the country is- it's still very interconnected economically and at times hard to separate.

I see, so despite being the only person in this form to not improve his finaces over the last 8 years, you still find it funny to look down your nose at people who pay PMI.

It's funny because it was actually a $500 annual discount on PMI. Do the Math. $41 more a month for FHA insurance doesn't keep anyone, who has met the debt to income ratio requirement, from buying a house. People are worried about the interest rate first and always.

Lion, these left wing nuts don't deal in reality and things are starting to settle down, wez hasn't threatened anyone in at least 30 minutes, so please don't upset the apple cart with facts.

I don't have to tell myself anything. It was Du's post that E-nanke totally told himself other than what Du posted. Big diff between $500 a month and $500 a year isn't it? Even a retail guy gets that!!

I just think someone who has struggled financially during the last 8 years, probably shouldn't be making fun of people who think a PMI discount is meaningful. Let he who is without sin...
