My wife does this all the time, and if I don't check before I spritz I get an unexpected ball splash.

NSFW for potential topic sensitivity I guess.

And I'm informing you that you're hurting other people by "investing" in real estate. You have plenty of other options available that don't make housing less affordable than others. Stop making up bizarre shit that you think I imagine.

Home ownership is complex. Life is complex. Both require difficult choices and decisions. I am thinking about retirement now and some rando on the interwebs wants to call me evil because I am making plans for he future? There is no possible way you understand the entire scope of my life, the choices I make or why I even have that house still.

Families that own one or two houses aren't the issue. Banks and private companies that own thousands of houses are the main issue and you are failing to realize that. I don't even own my homes, technically. I am still paying two mortgages, after all.

Your hate and discontent is misdirected. You are making assumptions about things you don't understand, you can't understand or don't want to understand.

You haven't answered any of my questions either. Are you in need of something? Are you a financial expert? Do you understand the costs of living? Do you pay medical bills? Do you pay for kids medical bills? Do you have a job? Can you eat? Cars? Rent?

Until you give me details about yourself, I can't help but imagine that you are way out of your league when it comes to managing money and planning for the future. I have nothing but comments about how I am an evil person to work with here.....

If you think you are changing the world by preaching to others who are just living life too, you aren't. Can you speak with full thoughts and not with short quips or uninformative insults?

Edit: Eh. Don't worry about responding. Your entire profile is just one-liners and you rarely have actual discussions. Should have blocked you a few comments ago, TBH.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
