      Love how the media considers assets as wealth when talking about Bezos or Musk, but when they talk about landlords and these fucks suddenly they have nothing and are barely scraping by

      I would simply not buy a 'top-tier home' in the most expensive region in the US.

        Decent townhouses in some cities are in the high hundreds of thousands if you don't want to live way out in the burbs.

      Absolute clown shit lol...I've never understood the allure of gigantic houses. I live in a 3 bedroom with my SO, we both have a bunch of hobbies that require a lot of storage space and we still have a bedroom that we would never enter if the attic stairs weren't in there.

      Nah bro, you don't need a living room, family room, sitting room, and den...and they'll put $10k-20k worth of furniture in each of those rooms that they never use. Materialism is a fuck.
