Title: THE HIDDEN COSTS OF NOT RENTING
Post by: Daddy on December 10, 2018, 08:39:28 AM
RENTING IS JUST THROWING AWAY MONEY

Thus spoke the person who has not considered that with home ownership you're paying things like

$572 a month in property tax
$1000 for a boiler repair because it's not heating your water
$227 for regular boiler maintenance

im gonna be so poor

Yeah I've been enjoying not paying that shit and having someone do it for free

That's how I feel about my car though. Once it's paid off it's free!!! > maintenance costs

yeah i keep thinking about buying, but HOA fees alone makes the concept kind of silly, let alone the inevitable maintenance. on the flip side, you're making an actual investment i guess, but eh, i like the freedom to move every 12 months if i wanna too  awdood;

I should've found a wealthy sugar daddy to hand down property to me
my mom literally thought this was my plan when it came to home ownership cos she thinks no one reasonsable would pay rent once you're over 25 yrs


there's no other way I can own property in manhattan or the tolerable areas in brooklyn in my lifetime

jersey city and upstate are also all obscene and unaffordable to buy hehe

mfw not coming from a rich family and being a corporate lawyer in a prestigious firm

Depending on where you're renting that would still be cheaper than monthly rent

I'm splitting $1300/month in a nice and central neighborhood in Seattle for a 600sqft apt with my GF. It's in an old building but has a some good charm (wooden floors, gas fireplace, shelves built into walls, an entry room that is perfect for storing my 3 bikes)

How am I doing boyah

Damn that is awful

For the record I think I have a pretty good gig for Seattle standards (independent landlord, month to month rent that won't go up because he's nice) since lots of people bitch about housing here too

But yeah Seattle is great every time I travel I'm reminded why I like it here
