If it sells then the price it sells at is its value at that moment. Its just not what you think its worth.

Where did you find a house by the train station? I thought those were all carved up for crappy apartments we can’t afford.

Agreed 100%. Wealth tax and inheritance tax should be what we all fight for, but we all get manipulated into fighting over everything else.

You're at fault. The person in front wasn't break(sic) checking you, they were braking because it's a yield.
Learn to drive.

Yes it’s nationwide, but it’s much worse in the greater Boston area than most major metros save SF and NYC.

I rear ending someone once (they stopped suddenly and had no break lights) but I was still at fault. I received 2 points and my insurance went up slightly.

Which is why wealth needs to be heavily taxed.

Probably not, thats nearly a 300% increase. Mine went up by ~40% with my 2 tickets. You can and should shop around, but don't skimp on coverage just to fit your budget.

Oh I know, and over the borderton Massachusetts and over the river to Vermont. Unfortunately I want to stay closer to the larger Boston circle and hence have to pay all the money. But boy there are some really really pretty houses. I love Greenville and new Ipswich but just a little far from my point of getaway. Southeastern Connecticut and the contingent part of Rhode Island also incredible deals. Even better than the area that we are talking about

SW New Hampshire is where it's at. You'd be stunned at what you can buy.

You definitely hurt your driving record but you are far from uninsurable, so you can come back from this. Your insurance is going to be more expensive, but it's not like you got a DUI or killed someone. I got 2 large speeding tickets within 6mo of each other when I was in my 20's. Eventually, it goes off your record - you just feel the pain for a little bit

Solid advice. Nobody is going to hand anyone anything. You gotta grind and work for it. While all our friends were living up to their means and beyond (and still are) in the McMansions, buying new everything and taking vacations we were socking more than 30% of our salary away and living well below our means in a modest home we owned outright. About a year ago we closed on a 4BR/3bath home on 2 acres. We both retired and are now living the dream.

For anyone who has a burst pipe, go get some Sharkbite fittings, some pex tubing, a pipe cutter, a cheap pex tool and a file and there's a good chance you can fix the problem yourself.
You might want to treat the result as a temporary repair but it's not difficult. DM me and I'll walk you through it.

The home shortage is nationwide and has been for a very long time. I'd go so far as to say the early 2000s.

If you back into a solid object I'd have put you at 100% responsible.

20$ for same failure to yield yeah. Im 28. Im really worried. And the crazy part is 2 weeks before i was backing up leaving a concert when i hit a concrete barrier and the insurance found me more than 50% responsible. So im literally worried that 6 years of drivinf and in 1 mo th i ruined jt all.

What was the ticket reduced to? Same failure to yield charge or something else? If it is still a failure to yield, thats a moving violation and you got points on your license. This will result in higher rates, especially for a younger driver
