发帖数: 35582 | 24 你要从20年的长线看，DCA投资股市收益(算上dividend)还是有8%的。其实都不用你自
己搞。
短期波动当然很大。很多人自己瞎投资，看见张了追着卖，看见跌了干劲卖，当然不断
的赔钱啦。
其实你要是就把投资当401K一样，放进去就当没这回事了，眼不见心不烦，反而好。
比如我给你举个例子:
老牌的fedelity contrafund，1992到现在，从25.81到68.62。还不算中间的分红。
Boston的房子同期也就这个水平吧。
其实你要仔细分析一下过去100年美国的股市，房市。房市平均下来去掉买卖的费用，
每年的carry cost (维护，tax)，增值
水平机会都无法beat通胀。
所以说房子就是又要住的刚需就买的东西，把所有的钱都拿来砸房子上指望靠它升值不
靠谱。当然了，投资出租房，然后养成
下金蛋的鹅除外。不过股票你要是一直hold，然后吃红利到时候也相当可观。只不过一
般人都hold不住，看见熊市来了一亏钱就扔，
因为股票流动性太好，房子你扔起来费劲。

Yes we checked with Acton school transportation dept. Many people may be

program that is not associated with the school. But it happens in Acton.
A family friend who lives in Acton recommended to us, their kids use the

学校知道怎么处理. 我是从来没听儿子说bully什么的.
其次房子脱手容易. 我在acton卖过一房子. 来看的都是老中老印. 那时候2008年,
最后几个offer, 老印就只砍了5%. 同样的房子. 比我邻居2006年卖的都高. 原因就是
老印的小孩要上学了.

: 通胀的。当然不够还可以卖房子。

I never heard of it if there is no big commute change.

: 同样westwood也不见的好. 如果看看老中的比例和搬近来的老中数量, acton比
: westwood
: 肯定多. 我在westwood 4年, acton 10 年. westwood 可能店多点, 不过有了小孩以后
: 那些店也是可有可无. 小孩的program也多,不知道westwood怎样, 不过acton是够了.
: 老中多, 在多也就 5%-10%, 能有多大压力?这里多少人在中国都混出来了,
: 这里的压力能有多大? 反正我看我儿子好象里压死人还远呢. 老中多的一好处就是

发帖数: 809 | 55 Now you heard one. Seriously, for commute if you work in Burlington, acton
vs Westwood, no difference. For school, they are close. For house, You can
only buy a 60-year-old crappy one in westwood with 500k. If you are ok
with old house, then why not Lexington? IMHO Westwood has no chance
compared with Lexington.

The local is awful even at non-rush hour.

发帖数: 291 | 58 I have a coworker who lives in Acton. she seems happy with the
commute. I tried couple times on 225/62, very nice ride in the
morning. not sure about the night time, but really not much traffic on
rt225 in carlisle unless there is something I am missing.
we just visited westwood last weekend, beautiful town, but to be
honest, very few shops restaurants and amenities around.
is there a chinese grocery/convenience store that is in 10miles
distance to westwood or needham?
we found a little chinese grocery store at littleton common, not big
but good selection of supplies, the store seems to have kept neat n
clean, very happy with this finding.
Needham vs. Acton, the Acton schools win big for us. we are more
leaning toward to Acton as we learn more and more now.
thank you all for your inputs.
27/225/
62.

Lots of asians in Acton so competitor is fierce. Sometimes ppl move out to
towns with more white when kids going to high school.
