Reply to comment by MechanicalBirbs in These housing numbers are insane. In some towns the cost to buy a house is 10x the average salary. by LopsidedWafer3269
That’s not entirely true. Our city is highly educated and ripe with high paying jobs. The Boston suburbs are packed full of doctors, lawyers, professors, finance and business people who can afford a $1-2M house with a salary. The $5m+ houses…sure, now you’re looking at new buyers who are less likely to be receiving a regular paycheck.

Reply to Lasik recommendation by Broad-Assignment-322
Go to a big chain like TLC. They contract with doctors who have done the procedure tens of thousands of times. Also, don’t go for low cost either. It’s your eyes. Make sure the equipment is fairly new and is calibrated daily. I had the procedure done 12 years ago and it was the best $4k I’ve ever spent. If it’s not too late to have flex spending taken out of your paycheck, do it so you can pay for the procedure with pre tax dollars. Lastly, the procedure is quick and painless. The recovery sucks for about a day. If they offer you medicated drops for pain, use them sparingly so they last 24 hours.

Reply to comment by Quirky_Butterfly_946 in For people that bought single family homes in Boston or adjacent suburbs since last summer, how much are you paying per month in mortgage, taxes, insurance? by Bostonosaurus
You’re going to need at least 200k down payment on a 5-6K/month mortgage. That’s a pretty big hurdle.

Been running on the path through alewife for 8 years. It’s always smelled that way.

Why is no one recommending Vitamin Sea? In the world of Mass hype breweries they rank number 3 behind treehouse and trillium. It’s also really close to Scituate.
