Smartphones aren't expensive anymore nor the calling plans. I have
mentioned before how many big pickups I've seen around here which are
probably penis extensions because they appear too have never been used
to haul anything. Same with the big SUVs bought to feel "safe" in but
not of much use if a big MAC truck hits it. I mentioned I have a "Son
of Anarchy" wannabee in the neighborhood who races up and down the street.
But here's a question for ya: does the TMO take credit cards? If they
don't that's one more dumb move.

middle-agers are going down the road on them dressing and trying to
look like the lower working classes they are not? What a wealthy bunch
of spiritually ill-disciplined narcissistic people.*

Trulia ran these numbers based on the assumption that a family
shouldn't spend more than 31 percent of its pre-tax income on housing
(and that it must pay local property taxes and insurance). This data
also assumes that a family makes a 20 percent down payment on a home –
a daunting feat even on a six-figure income in somewhere like Los
Angeles or New York.

An old couple I know down in San Antonio live in the family home that
they inherited from his auntie. The guy says he pays about $100 per
month in property taxes. Sounds like pretty cheap rent for a 1200 sq
ft place on the south side of town. A lot of his property taxes go to
local public schools. And, he doesn't even have any children! Go figure.
"According to what I've read, a family shouldn't spend more than 31
percent of its pre-tax income on housing." Using those calculations,
these 10 metros are the least affordable:
