The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There are hundreds of thousands homes with crap that someone will one day be hauling to a landfill.

I volunteer for a disaster response organization and have responded to multiple hurricanes, floods and tornados. It is sobering to help haul all of someone's household goods to the street so the "FEMA truck" can collect it and haul it away. Some of it was junk, but some of it was cherished and priceless keepsakes. After my first deployment I called my spouse to say "we gotta get rid of stuff". I've been on that kick ever since. Too many in this country have insufficient insurance and can never be made whole after a disaster. I was never a fan of real estate as an investment but after these deployments my belief has only strengthened.

Rgds,
HH/Sean
