Remaining on unemployment keeps the economy from roaring back as most would remain on unemployment. 

There are some local parks that are nice, there are flight tours at the airport a minute away, shopping, great foodie area if you are willing to drive out ten minutes, twenty minute drive to SeaTac Airport.

However, being twenty years old, it is hard to partner with somebody because they think I don't know what I'm doing; they're correct for the most part.

But with 4 kids in their teens/twenties now, seems like that money would be far better used if one of them has entrepenurial ideas (and energy and time). 

One doctor told me that it took him twenty minutes to drive over one of the two bridges from Harbour Island to get ten blocks away to go to the Publix Market.

If both felonies were in the 90's, then the problem youth thing makes sense, but he is a repeat offender twenty years later.

I have just one tenant who pays in cash now (used twenties from a cash job) and I get all the logistical difficulties, but really...it's CASH.In the brief interim of time between receiving my wad of greasy, stinking twenties in my hot little hand and the moment I stuff those bills into the slot of the ATM, I feel alive.

I can't touch the money in my 401(k) for over twenty years.

Twenty years later they consider it one of their best investments.Past history is not an indicator of future results, but with our debt based economy essentially counting on the constant rule of inflation, it's almost hard to fail at real estate. 

I remember the first home I ever owned in my mid-twenties.
