Who can afford to stay at home these days


My wife quit her FNP career 4.5 years ago to raise kids. She now has 3 kids under 5.

It's actually pretty do-able with a proper budget in place.

In terms of her daily life, she works hard, I give her that. She also bitches that it's the hardest thing in the world, and I remind her how hard it is when she sleeps until 7 every day and gets a 1-3pm nap that all 4 of them get to take basically every day.

Nice looking watch.

Exactly.

People just won't move to take on a new rate 2x their current rates, and builders aren't going to literally lose money on new builds.

Prices aren't going to move far from where they are, people will still buy, just at a slower conversion rate.

I'm sitting in my office in Fort Worth right now. I don't live here, but I could, and I would choose it over Dallas and Houston.

I'd live in Fort Worth before both if given the chance. It's the best large city in Texas.

This is false.

I agree. Especially as I age I gravitate towards black, white, and blues only. A bright color will be fun for max 1 year then I'll want to move it on. Same with anything over 42mm, or too toolish. Great for a bit, but prefer more conservatively sized, traditional colors for long term use.

This is an expensive hobby after all.

Cool watch but if I can't read the time on it I'm out.

I do like the chronometer sport they just released, but they continue to price watches in a category they don't belong in IMO.

Tudor just released the black bay chrono 39. Great size.
