Hello everyone;I am a twenty seven year old college student; nearly finished with my associates in general studies, soon to be transferring to the UofM.

Either in their mid twenties or over 50.  

I think the problem is not as severe as it was twenty years ago since Texas has less subsidence problems today.  

TWENTY SIX PERCENT!

I have had some try and tell me as long as twenty years.

He tells you he'd gonna need an extra twenty for hammers and nails because he lost big in poker last night.

Brief summary:I'm twenty two years for age, working full time for an engineering firm as a test engineer.

Like you I'm an optimist as well....you know me, I'm the kind of guy that falls out of a twenty story building and half way down says, "So far So Good."

It does help that I did roofing for thre years in my late teens and early twenties. 8)

So here' how much my house for example will go up by each year over the next 10 years:$640,000$1,280,000$2,560,000$5,120,000$10,240,000$20,480,000$40,960,000$81,920,000$163,840,000$327,680,000So as anyone can see as "clear as daylight" my house is going to be worth three hundred and twenty seven million dollars in 10 years from now.
