  • It's not 1996 anymore?!! Why didn't somebody tell me? My license is probably expired.

  • I paid twice as much as my neighbor with the same house, who bought his 18 years before I did, and he paid twice as much as the neighbors acress the street that bought theirs 20 years before he did. Heck, my mom bought a 3 bedroom house with a 3 car garage on 3.5 acres for $18,000 in 1974. She had to have the house replaced about 10 years ago after it was destroyed and it was $140,000 just for the house. Her neighbors that had the same amount of land have sold theirs to developers who built apartments and multiple homes on what used to be a single home plot. The land is worth over 10 times what she paid for it with the house on it.

    So, if you bought the same house the same as mine, it would probably be twice what I paid for it. You would still have the benefit of not having your rent hiked every year or two.

    House prices will always go up, baring some unforseen disaster, war, or political turmoil. That's the way it's always been.

  • That's why I don't trust family members that would abuse my kids.

  • There's also a woman that will replace my will to live. I call her my ex-wife.

  • You're so wrong!

    Only 70% of the Earth is flat.

  • There's ntfy. I'm not sure if that will fit your bill or not.

  • Everyone has the ability to change the things around them. People want to change the world. That is an unrealistic goal to start with. What you can change directly and immediately is your family/household. Then you can move to your neighborhood. As you change the things closest to you, then you can slowly move out to larger things.

    Going on a worldwide platform and bitching may make you feel better, but it does nothing to change things and just makes people avoid you.

  • I didn't know any companies still did that. I pay $25/month for unlimited and it's only gone down over the years. I started paying $45/month about 15 years ago. I know of some companies that are cheaper, but I haven't had any issues, so I haven't bothered to switch.

  • I'll take buying over renting any day. I paid $68k for my house. My loan payment is $460/month. While other I know have had their rents double and have been forced to move to smaller places, my house payment hasn't changed.

  • Paying on your mortgage every week can drastically reduce your interest, depending on how your interest is calculated. Even if you pay the same amount at you would per month, paying it every week could save thousands of dollars.

  • I got to the 4th box and was so confused that I decided to read the title.

  • I thought it was "Two Doors Down".

  • Learn to accept the things you cannot change. Have courage enough to change the things you can. Be wise enough to know the difference.
