Your entire generation won't be poor like yourself. Every generation has successful people and people like yourself.

okay here;
i can afford the most expensive car in the world; you just have to pay for it.

i don't understand why people buy houses they obviously can't afford. if you have to have a renter pay for the mortgage; sounds like you weren't wealthy enough!

would we accept this model for *any* other commodity?
what isn't too expensive when you just get someone else to buy it?

OK Joe, just stop before you lose friends. You're angry and in a really horrible situation and we understand, but going full on rant mode and lumping every landlord in with your current jerk hole guy is really going overboard.

Landlording is exactly like any large retail business. The product isn't paid for in cash, it's financed just like the fan you bought at Walmart last month and the rifle you picked up at H&H. All of those things are financed with the bank until you buy it, then the bank is paid off and what's left is profit for the company.

You're a good guy. Just take a beat and think before you attack every retired fella on the board here that owns a couple of houses to help pay for his retirement.

.....yeah i know. that's my point. you are financing something that *someone else* pays for, then when it's payed for you kick them out and take it yourself.
and some of us don't do that. who finances guns?

....you guys buy guns on credit?!
in this case, your analogy would be someone financing a fan or a rifle, making someone else use the fan or rifle, but off it entirely plus....ya know a little live on amirite?, then just give the rifle or fan back after paying for the entire value plus. that's not at all "financing" and you know it.

the FIRE economy is bs. you can't build a nation on finance, insurance, and real estate at the expense of screwing over the "poor" you like to chastise.

you guys sure seem upset when "no one is working" and you can't get your big mac in the drive thru anymore holy cow. fwiw i make plenty of money and i'm certainly not poor lol.

The gun seller finances them (in bulk). Then you buy them, thus paying off that portion of the loan.
Also, yes, many people buy guns on credit cards.

I have found life is a lot easier when I focus on how I live my life, and not so much how others live theirs.
Do I finance things, yup sure do, if I did not I would eventually never own anything. Those are my choices to make, good or bad.

The world revolves around finance. Our economy actually needs a healthy banking industry to thrive, like it or not.

I have rented houses. Last time was for 7 years, before I built the house I am in now. This house is far from fancy, but its where I call home, so be it.
My last land lord was a good one, she actually cried when I told her I was moving out, offered to lower the rent if I stayed, I was only paying $200 a month back then.
The land lord before her in another house, well he was a real douche bag and I was very glad to move out of that one.

not all land lords are bad, not all are great, its up to you to vette them out.

Wow ... Dude, you aren't doing yourself any favors ... Not that you care ... But damn ... I haven't seen this big a train wreck here since Land man took a shine to MastaChief.
