Don't you know it. Most of my post-tax income goes directly to savings awaiting the day when housing prices come back to reality.

Increasing energy costs may bring the existing outlying 'Yuppie Mansionette' back down in price, but only if the move is to refurbish urban areas.

As soon as someone figures out how to make renovating the cities fashionable and profitable (and it sinks in that fuel prices are not coming down any time soon) the tide will turn.

If you set yourself up so you don't have to spend much time in town, or your mileage is tax deductible (contractor to jobsite type stuff), you could do fairly well.

But I could be wrong, too.

I am holding out for cheap, used, SUVs and pampered pickups, myself.

"Most of my post-tax income goes directly to savings awaiting the day when housing prices come back to reality."

Since "most of my post-tax income goes to savings" then you must have almost no expenses. This means you live with your parents.

By how you argue, you are what, maybe fourteen years old? Or twenty five going on fourteen? If you ARE literally fourteen then I have been a little hard on you.
