Subject: Re: The Time Warren Buffett Fooled Himself
County appraisal district websites are good when the wife and I are going down this road. You can see who in the neighborhood that has no business being there might not actually own their house. In our area, there are lots of parent-owned (grandparents to our kids' friends). Pretty typical for the homes to be gifted or rented when the grandparents retire to another area.

Even still, I have that same mental argument a couple times a year about the fancier, newer car: "Come on Man, you've gotten to this stage in life. You've EARNED a new car. See those kids 10-15 years younger than you driving the brand new rides".

But the tightwad that sits on my shoulder just won't let me pull the trigger.
