  • This is just going to lead to creative language and new slang developing rapidly. Like people trying to avoid YouTube demonization say all kinds of weird shit. Like the Republicans back when they weren’t screaming the quiet part out loud. They said it with a lot of indirect words. “We can’t have the wrong people receiving government assistance”. The Xbox live version will be something like “Did you hear that? Sounds like there’s a huge football player getting some hard reps in your mom’s room.”


  • If you aren’t going to live somewhere at least 2 years it’s always a bad call to buy. There’s a lot of closing costs to buying, you pay realtors when you sell. After 2 years it really depends on what the housing market has been like. When I bought my house I was up 50% on what I paid after like 3 years. It’s basically always going to be a better decision to buy if you live in the house 5+ years.

    Rent keeps going up, house prices in recent history have always trended up. The longer you live there the less your mortgage is in comparison to market rent rates and the more equity you have built. Renting is never a better long term decision in America. You only want to rent if you might move relatively often.







  • Oh look, a version of the article everyone seems to put out regularly for the last 2+ years or so. My mortgage is a 3.125% rate. If I move and buy the same house my payment goes up 50% just on interest. They’ll drag my dead body out of this house with current interest rates.

    This is literally the vast majority of homeowners right now. No one is selling. Inventory levels have been at historic lows for a reason. The only way the housing market sees a significant downturn is if the economy as a whole eats shit and people can’t pay their mortgages.
