There are better ways, but those are not going to happen. Letting the literal fascists win is only going to make it worse.

So youre just telling me you are pro genocide. No different than GOP members saying they should level Gaza into a parking. No humanity. Oh, but what about poor Israelites? Well they have the power and military backing of the US, but killing less civilians is too hard. With how much money US gives to Israel, they could relocate people from Gaza to different countries. There are definitely ways, just no will.

Man...........history wont be kind on those were okay with this.

Still dont get why anyone thinks any us politician today wouldnt support Israel. Not sure why people think letting the fascists win and making the situation even worse is a better option.

"people dont want civilians killed...they surely support Hamas"

Is that what yore saying? Cause thats how you sound. I think everybody is ok with the eradication of Hamas. Just that Israels way of doing things is turning out way too costly in civilians lives. Gives the impression they would outright kill everybody if the world wasnt looking.

THERE ARE better ways of going about this.

Interesting. Will they do what the constituents want or what they think they have to do to guarantee some of their campaign funds. Cause we know both GOP and democrats support Israel not out of religion or the goodness of their hearts, but whats convenient for them when raising campaign funds. (theyve said so themselves)

JuanCarlos1

At this point Israel has killed over 7 times the amount of people that Hamas did. Most being women and children. And they are just getting started. Sure, it is both sides, but the power dynamics are way in favor towards Israel. Imagine being able to cut your enemies basic services. Have a hundred times their armament and much better equipment. Also the military and financial backing of the US.

At this point, the humane thing to do would be to relocate all the refugees somewhere with all the money the US is throwing at Israel.

I don't think 2 hours is that far away, unless your idea of close by is within 30 minutes and able to casually swing by multiple times a week

Pretty much. Also the tolls alone are like $12 round trip. I think its pretty far for casual visiting, so we go there like twice a month. But its also far for any emergency that may arise.

Hard to say. If they really love where they are I'd support their wishes to stay, but if the location/house isn't ultra important to them, or if everything is getting a little too expensive, it might be worth having them dangle the keys in front of the potential buyer so to speak and pocket a good chunk of change. Especially if it'd allow everyone to live closer together, that alone for me would be a big incentive.


Thats the biggest part they gotta weigh in. They go every other day to the beach early in the morning (by car though). You have some nice coffee shops by walking distance and DOZENS of nice restaurants 1/2 minutes away. Its some sort of Beta version of Key west. Place also has a military base, homeland security, lots of federal departments, hence why a lot of "gringos" already live there.

On the other hand theres the money, getting older and being able to live close to your kid/grandson and enjoy more more family time.

Its a pretty hard decision.

No, get $400k now or $800k in 5 years. It's rich people land

I dont think thats likely. The place is not a mansion. Just a regular house with 3 beds/2 baths. Though its very well taken care of. Anyway Im assuming these are peak prices cause of the bubble

Why bother selling at all? Is the area now too expensive for them to stay?

No. They havent decided, just considering all the options. The pro would be having 400k or maybe 200k after getting a new house. They could also live closer to us since my wife is their only kid in the island.

Theyre not hurting for money. It's all about the possibilities about what they could do with that money. My wife wants them closer to us. I told them if I were them I would sell due to peak prices right now. But ultimately do what they thinks its best for themselves without thinking of their kids.

Or maybe come out winning? So my in laws are retired, living in a coastal town in Puerto Rico. Last few years the area has gotten more popular with lots of restaurants popping up and its also 5 minutes from the beach and an airport by walking distance. So its become a hotspot for rich people from the states.

Ok so the place was an inheritance and its all paid. It was actually some sort of townhouse and each brother got a side. So my wifes uncle recently sold his side for $350k which seems to have been a bit over appraisal. People bought with cash as well.

Noooow...seems like the new owners might have their eyes on MILs house to turn it all into one big house I assume. Realtor passed by today to relay the the buyers intentions and that since MILs house is a lil bigger they could demand a higher price. Were probably looking at a potential 400k cash.

So now MILs have a dilemma. Sell retirement home, buy somewhere else and enjoy the money, invest it or just stay there. They could probably buy a similar home even closer to us for much less than 200k and enjoy, invest the rest of the money. Their SS would be enough to cover their expenses.

What would you do CE?

This worries me a lot. My mom got lucky that she was allowed residence in a federal housing place for elderly, but it was a lottery getting in. But now she can make do with SS alone. If you dont have retirement savings then gotta try to have a paid residence...which is also becoming next to impossible.

Then theres us. Pensions wont exist. Fully reliant on SS and 401ks+ investments, but thats only for the people with good income and low liabilities. My dad had a good job while we were growing up, but never put money aside for 401k cause "he needed every last cent" since we were 3 kids, private schools, stay at home mom..etc. He probably wouldve had millions in 401k since were talking late 80's to current.

So the average person will more than likely have to keep working. Also, SS cuts are expected at some point due to fund running out.
