Would we save money as then we wouldn't double up on trees??

Use a bidet instead...\n\nMy grandparents used to use newspaper...was all they could get.

absolutely not, unless i needed it for electricity or food or medical expenses. because:\n\n1) insanely high interest rates\n2) digging a deeper hole\n\nyour best bet is to cut back expenses temporarily that aren't absolutely essential (cell phone if you have a land line, downgrade cable packages or eliminate all together, stop eating out at fast food or restaurants, take public transportation, buy less expensive food, etc.). alternatively, buy less expensive christmas gifts. when your situation improves, then you can adjust accordingly.

My south is social genocide on one side and golf courses and $300,000.00 houses on the other. I worry about the environment too, but I'm afraid I may be the only one.  Check out hydrogen power and spread the word to your friends.  It will save our planet if we act.  Also, adaptation is our only means of survival...those who fear change perish....infuse modernity with all things natural...see what you come up with.

I say $50,000 as well because we do it.  It's a joint income household and we manage to not only save at least $10,000 a year but also have plenty to live and play on.  It's all about keeping that money monster under control :o)

I hate to break it to you, but there is absolutely NO way that you are going to live in the hills for that kind of monthly rent. You would have to at least double that, and that might not even get you what you want. \n\nSorry to burst your bubble!

No, in Florida the prices of land are skyrocketed. Land can only go up so much and we are at its highest peak. If you purchase land to sell in 2 months you will make no profit because the prices are so high. Wait until the land goes down and then invest.! Good Luck

Please take into account the taxes... some products add almost 50% of their value, so unless you can work around that (which would be illegal, by the way), maybe it's not worth it.\nAnyway, suerte!

Not enough.  In the past 10 years we have cut down 64 million more trees than we have planted.  We should all be planting a tree!

Sounds good, but you'll have to suffer the pain of watching Nottingham Forest languish in the third Division for another season.\n\n\n\n\nSomeone reincarnate Brian Clough quick!\n\n\n(As to your other costs, depends on how much you run your phone bill, water, power, etc. Just budget another £250 and save what you don't spend.)

dreaming and planning is good, but thinking about a billion or billions or even borrowing that kind of money is just out of the question.  If you had that much money or could get that much money you wouldn't be asking us how to invest it.  If you had it you would put your portfolio in mixed investments plus have trusts, lend it, put some in real estate, and give it away to the needy for tax purposes.

I'm not in a class where this is small change but it wouldn't change my life if $5,000 appeared.  With my aggressive stocks and mutual funds, I make or lose that much several days of the year.\n\nIf I could have it April 12 and the market is up, I'd buy the emerging markets exchange-traded fund with the symbol EEM (I think that's an ishares ETF).  I might buy on margin in real life.\n\nIf I'm supposed to spend it I'd replace our front door and redo the entryway.\n\nIf I'm supposed to do something wild I'd buy a small windmill so I could generate electricity.  Partly to reduce our electric bills but mainly because it's the right thing to do.

You have a very good point and you dont have to be a tree hugger to appreciate it either.  Find others in your community that feel the way you do, get local government on your side, talk to state / federal government, talk to the media.  Let the builders know that there will be a backlash to unwise building.  Maybe they won't stop the building but perhaps they will be wiser about it, adding green space and being more careful of the enviroment.  It's all you can do, short of buying up the land yourself.

sure I would , even if it did not affect the prices since the prices are already so crazy !! I'm already   trying  to combine everything in one trip  when I drive now...I think most people are trying to do that  right now as the cost starts to eat away at  our pockets and begins interfering in  our luxuries and necessities.. I don't think that 3 percent would really   "crash" the price though... but its a great thought...

There could be interferences depending on how your building is sited on the lot.  Keep in mind that if you are building a residence the presence of mature trees is a real plus and your building plan should preserve as many as possible.  \n\nUnless your building has a large footprint, the cost of tree and stump removal will be a tiny portion of your overall costs.  Roots must be removed in the immediate area of slabs and foundations, however roots beyond these areas will not pose a problem.

LOL!  \n\nGood answer for your mom or dad when they say that!\n\nWhen it used to be gold, silver and copper ONLY it DIDN'T come from trees.....\n\nYou could write a hand-written, paper draft for the person to take to your bank (later morphed into actual checks), but it wasn't real money until the bank honored it, so money wasn't made on trees, i guess.

Hey, I'm in Canada too. We go to a nice you pick place every year.40 bucks!!!! But I live in Alberta where there aren't many trees . Maybe that's why they're so pricey ....
