    Housing schemes.

    I have been thinking, and, it occurred to me that if you really want to buy things, it is easy! basically, you borrow [x] money. then you buy [y] goods. then, you sell [y] goods for [x] money. then you have broken even, yes?

    Then, you use [x] money to buy [y] goods again! the [x] is what you borrowed and still owe, yes? now you buy a second home [z]? then you are in debt to [x] plus [x] doubling your debt. then, you have [2x] and [2y]? then you sell [1y] to get you enough to pay back the second home, and you keep the [y] you sell it for, leaving you with [1x] and [2y]!

    So, it would be [2x] + [2y] - [1y] + [1y] - [1x] = [1x] + [2y]

    That is what we thought here in the DC market. I bought my condo in October 2004. $300K for 1300 sq foot. 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bath. Loft. 2 miles outside of the beltway. Less than a mile to the metro. It is a perfect size for two adults.


    Its value grew to around $375K. Sounds good. Then the market crashed and it went to around $220K. It has moved back to around $275K. I rent it out now, but can move back there anytime if I like.

    Anyway, buying real estate is not a sure thing.

    Massive economics.

    Today, i had an apple. i had it stolen from me, and then i demanded a dollar for it. i got the dollar, and bought another apple for myself. the dollar went to the person selling the apples, yes? can you see where this is going?

    Of course, if we have a lot of people, then there are usually two goods moving on a escalator type of scheme, yes? how about many directions with many apples and dollars?

    This means, that, the more people there are, and the more people that get to eat,the more money there is changing hands, yes? let's try to make this a formula? let's call x 'wealth,' y apples and z dollars?

    So, if you have [x] = [y ^ z] + [z ^y] . this i figure because if you have three apples and ten dollars, you would have apples times by itself dollar times? this would see three apples become thirty apples in circulation, and ten dollars come to a thousand dollars! you basically just keep adding the dollars and apples to find your wealth, even if they have not been sold yet, they count as wealth of the country, yes?

    But, then there is the people or consumers that need to be shown as potential suppliers? this would mean, if a is a consumer and b is a supplier;

    (wealth =) x = [y ^ z ^ a ^ b] + [z ^ y ^ b ^ a]

    Or, maybe it is [x] = [yzabc] which would be [{y}apples, times by {z}dollars, times by {a}consumers, times by {b}suppliers, times by {c}profit markup] =

    If your apple was stolen, how/who did you get the dollar for it from?
