I wrote my mortgage check today sitting on the deck looking over my couple of acres. My favorite $455 check I write every month. My mortgage is less than my car payment.

I imagine you don't live in L.A.

Or, do you? If so, that favorite check may secure you, your cardboard box and milk crate(your deck) a spot under an overpass on the 105.

It's about value over price isn't it?

There is no job out there, offering any payrate, that would get me to move back to live in Southern California.

I live out in Banjostan, right in the middle of Flyover Country.

That feeling when the square footage of my $2k/month apartment is only slightly more than the cost of your mortgage. Oof. Who wants to help me move JPL to the midwest on a big crawler...
