Comment on Is it better to rent a cheap/shitty place, or rent something suitable that you struggle to afford?
whoreticulture@lemmy.world 2 months agoOh shit, must have forgot that $200/month could buy me a house. Damn. Also don’t see where I mentioned that as anything other than an aspirational splurge.
Not to mention… what is the point of owning a house I’ll be paying my mortgage off on until I die? I’m gonna bring the house to the grave?

You’re renting, you can literally grab a truck and move to a cheaper housing market with all your belongings overnight.
If you can pay rent, you can pay a mortgage.
At least the mortgage is benefiting you.

You can’t pay a mortgage until you have a down payment … and even with a down payment…

Do you know what house I could afford for that much in my area? A house in a trailer park where I would still be paying rent.
You’re acting all superior but you literally can’t handle basic math.

“my quality of life would tank”, yet here you are pissing away half your income in rent lmao. Bet you think living in the city is amazing, while chugging 4 bottles if antidepressants a day because the last time your body breathed clean air was 30 years ago and the only tree in your neighborhood is fenced off to prevent homeless people from getting some shade.
Negative IQ all the way down the line.

I don’t even live in a city … I have only been paying this rent for one month as a stopgap looking for something else. You seem confused and lost.
