My point is that this is the history of every country.

Are you new to this earth?

You say stolen, everyone else says conquered.

So... Average history?

I was merely offhanded mentioning what I was planning on spending the money I've saved by not owing high interest credit card debt. Partly as a way to share my excitement on a minor thing.

I've passed on the boat I looked at today as it's a bit too much work and money to bring up. I try to make sound financial decisions.

Honestly paramotors look like so much fun but I would absolutely kill myself trying it.

It's a hobby. I'm doing a proper checking to make sure everything is sound and not putting money in for it to look pretty, just to sail around and camp on the water on the weekend. Like I said I'm far from broke.

I'm not rebuilding a boat. I'm finding a boat in good condition with space to basically camp for a week. Inverter? Generator? Bro I'm not buying a yacht. I'm looking at 50 year old boats built like tanks with matching accomodations. Just want to get out there and have some fun. Lines can get rough and ugly but still have years in them when it's double braid. Also it's going to be in fresh water for most of its life. Merely interested in patching any bad looking stuff with fairing compound, hit it with some bottom paint every now and then. I already passed on a 1972(?) Pearson 26 (soft spots in the deck), now looking at an Ericson 27 instead.

You say primarily. Only really on the long term. It's mid 20 foot sail boats. I can learn to do fiberglass/painting, etc myself. Paying tradesmen is where the cost is.

Tailors.

I go there twice a week. Into the boroughs though. Haven't been on Manhattan in a few years.

I bought a boat last year and now I want a bigger one. I've got lots of disposable income because I don't live beyond my means. Lots of people carry credit card debt and spend stupidly. Don't do that and you'll likely be ahead of most people.

The boats are around 2k. Not huge rich guy money.

Don't look at pickup prices. Mine was worth the same at 2 years as new.

You believe being a certain gender means my opinion is automatically wrong.

Not truck drivers. That's 70 hours a week. 70 productive with 34 hours to reset and do it all again.

The problem is there's a lot of people that want to push that lifestyle on every single human being. They want to pretend every person wants to live in a city. They want to pretend cities have no problems.

Yes it is. You pay a fortune to live in a hovel and have to share the sidewalk with drug addicts and gangs. Breathe deep and appreciate that smell of sewage everyday.

There's introverts and then there's extreme social anxiety. They're not the same.
