There's a saying: "A rising tide floats all ships". I guess the converse is also true: "A falling tide sucks 'em all down". If my California home continues to depreciate, I'll have (a lot) less equity to take with me to the BI at the end of 2009/early 2010, but on the other hand, the house that I may buy then will cost less, too. Is it a wash? I dunno, I'm not an economist. We'll see what happens in two years, find out whether the crystal ball-gazers in 2008 were correct.
Regardless, I'm at least committed mentally (Ha!) to retiring back to the Islands of my birth. More money or less won't affect that decision, although it may affect what kind of Hawai'ian home I have.
Aloha! ;-)
