I thought that she said on tonight's episode when she was talking on the phone when the trainer showed up that she would have Tammy get that for her. I could very well be wrong, but that is what gave me that impression.

I work at the OC Assessor and we value privacy. It floors me that these people not only give their real names on this show but give their street names! If we can easily look up info on them so can stalkers. It is a gated community but its not that hard to get in there.

Rehtse, it is a buyers market and will be even more so in a few more months. We are processing more foreclosurers than ever before. If you have good credit and can get a decent loan, now is a great time to buy property to rent because all those foreclosure people will need a place to live and they screwed their credit and cant buy a house. Rent prices are going up due to this fact, you can probably rent a house for what the mtg costs, if you have good credit

Wow, with all the talk of estates and probate and living wills, my kids must be the luckiest around. I have nothing to leave them, so there is no discussion or discord...lol however, i've made sure all my debts are paid so they aren't saddled with that, either

I know, Pamy. My husband is in the building industry, so I hear about this all of the time from him. Fortunately the company that he works for builds higher end houses. From what I've been seeing/hearing, it is the poorer folks who are in the majority of the foreclosure mess.

How can we be surprised about all these foreclosures when the loans were given without any thought to whether they were likely risks or not? When we took out our original home loan (20 years ago) , we had to jump thru hoops for weeks. When we took a small equity loan out to remodel the kitchen a couple of years ago we didn't even have to show ID. My, how times have changed. About estates and living wills and so on... If you want done what you want done after you're gone, make sure you arrange for it BEFORE you're gone. Simple as that. Do it...or someone else will do it for you. Too many people do not take the time to set their wishes in writing. Lou Knickerbocker is the perfect example. Take a lesson from him.

Lol Blue! I've got nothing to leave mine either but I do have a will made out. Mostly cuz they're underage and we needed to make sure of who would take care of them if something happened to either me or my ex. Wow Pamy that's some great advice bout buying and then renting it out.

Because I live in Orange County and not too far from Coto, I hate for everyone across the country to think we are all like what you see on the show. Great article in local paper today about the generosity of the "real" Orange County with some references to The Real Housewives of Orange County show. We actually do have good kids here http://www.ocregister.com/column/silverberg-rose-katie-1931426-horse-county

Also in Orange County. Very near Coto...in the canyon. I'm nothing like those gals. But I see them around town grocery shopping and such. They sure do seem to like themselves an awful lot. lol

I grew up in OC, still work there. re will/trust...if you own property/home you should have a trust. I see sad situations daily because people dont do trusts when they own property

Thanks Rehtse, felt I had to post it since the writer was using The Real Housewives show as a comparison. As the others from Orange County can confirm, most of us living here are nothing like what you see on TV. It is fun to watch and see all the local places they go. I have not been as luck as Beekindpleez who has actually seen the women out. I am a little further south but maybe I should do some shopping up in that area

If you are interested in financial planning, see a financial advisor. I highly recommend Edward Jones Investments. they are everywhere, they do everything, and it will be one on one advice, and no charge for the first consultation.

If you are really serious, you need to get a professional. It is fine to read and study up on things, but would you read a book on how to perform surgery? Your finances are just the same way. Do it yourself can be risky.

By the way, hope I did not mislead anyone. With Edward Jones, you do not EVER pay just to meet with your advisor.

Wow what a show - those kids are whining, spoiled, lazy... and all those parents keep talking about how hard they worked when they were 17, or 19 - - so its an interesting take on how the parents try hard to make life easier for their kids (as my grandparents, and parents... from the era of the depression, to no college opportunities) I only hope there are more parents that do instill better work ethics than this snippet of OC.... I lol at Ryan's tat - it was his attitude about it that was troubling. He got the tat and then basically dared his mom to whine about it - maybe Mom has so much guilt about growing up "poor" she just doesnt know how to deal with him, and he is on such a pity poor me road trip - wake up!! And as for Tammy and the boat party - Tammy went to Meagan's party with all the friends, and shots... and Tammy told the camera that her girl party wasnt all about booze - um if she can think that, you'd think she could communicate THAT with her DD!! I have no problem with the shennagins the adults went upstairs and turned a blind eye on all that booze being consumed, and for me they were setting her up for failure... and "DUH" a food fight!! oops... Of course, I remember a similiar incident at one of my birthday celebrations... no booze... but too many teenagers, no adults, it was too tempting... and just like Meagan's friends, they were going to clean it up, and pay for it to be cleaned... the one boy went to Tammy and I think made a sincere apology... but because of Tammy choosing to fight with a drunk dd - she was in no mood to hear it... when she needs to step up and take the blame - imho!!

Thanks for the link, I like the last sentence - wanting some fresh meat??? (my interpretation!!) It does seem more staged this season than before- like the conversation Vicky's kids had about the dd going to the concert and camping - I can just imagine that production discussion - I dont doubt brother and sister have conversations, but just not filmed!! So the way it was filmed just seemed a bit staged... as does the meeting with the Housewives..
