    That's why I have no interest in paying off student loans or getting a house. Yeah it's the better thing to do, but I'm 31 and years of spartan life fucked me up bad and only recently after my shitty 50 hour week started paying decent money and 10k in savings that I'm finally able to spend money for myself without feeling guilty.

    I guess I'm Warhammer pilled. All I want to do is buy 3d printers and paint miniatures, even though I have no friends to play with and being around other people gives me suicidal anxiety.

      Honestly the main reason I want a house is to avoid paying rent. I heard that unlike rent, mortgages don't keep rising every year with inflation (or whenever the landlord feels like they deserve a raise).

      Sure, there's upkeep costs, but at least it's not going to a fucking landlord... ah fuck, but then it's going to the bank instead... :deeper-sadness:

        Well I live in Texas and my boss house just exploded because the city shut off the water and he left them to drip.

        Sure it's more economical, but I don't have to spend every weekend on Upkeep on an 60 year old house or some cardboard new house that will start falling apart soon. Time already don't have.

        There is no winning. America is a land of madness and the only option left is mass suicide at corporate convince.
