It never occurred to me that one of the ways to pick up an airhead was to just lie about how much I made, because they weren't going to know better.
It's obvious, in retrospect. The ol' "Oops accidentally flashed this million dollar balance ATM receipt" trick.

It's easy to make someone believe what they hope is real.

As always, depends. Sometimes you're looking for good cardio, not good conversation.

Not judging, to each their own, and all that. But I just couldn't. Once they say something indicating their stupidity my penis is like "I'm out"
Guess I was a sapiosexual before millenials + Gen Z got all stupid about labels.

I've taken swings at all kinds of monsters. Vegetarians, liberals, navy girls. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. I don't have a ton of game... I just kind of have good hygiene, be myself, and see what happens.
I seem to attract nurses, and teachers.
I tend to lose the ones looking for someone to buy them coke.

Or meth.
The ones for coke are dressed trendy and looking at the car, and think I'm a rube. The ones looking for meth have bad skin and missing teeth and think I talk like a fag.

The shopping boom that happened post COVID is winding down? They even say that in the article. Trillions of dollars were injected into the economy causing a boom. That's eventually going to correct.

Ridiculous. By your logic, Biden didn't create more jobs than any other president in history and these are all jobs just coming back post-pandemic.

“These principles are timeless”
Median home price in USA is 382k in 2024
15 year fixed rate today is 6.81%
Let’s pretend you were able to save 10% for a down payment (38k)
Mortgage is 344k
Payments per month would be $3051 before taxes, insurance, and possible PMI
Payments would be about $3500 with everything, on average
If you only allowed to use 1/4 of your salary per month, you must make 14k per month or 168k per year
Ramsey actually said it needs to be 1/4 of your take home pay so you are looking at needing to make 250k plus before taxes
Median household income in the USA is $74,480
You will own nothing and be happy

I'm sorry you can't move right into your forever home. How about you do what most people do and buy what you can afford right now. Spend some years fixing it up and throw some sweat equity into it. Then, along with the appreciation, move in to your forever home that costs way more than you can afford when you are just starting out. Take your sweat equity, plus appreciation, and you can now afford the $1500/month your dream house costs.
How much was your 1st house worth when you moved in. Was it the $350k house you wanted? Or the $150k house you could afford? Then you took what that house made you, and upgraded, and also were probably making more given your years of work experience. Then you sold your last house for WAY more than you paid and are ready to upgrade again.
Fuck these millennials that want what they are moving out of when their parents worked 20+ years to get there.
Honestly. I do not feel sorry for anyone that thinks they can't live in a house that's worth less than $382k when they are just starting out. That being said, the median house in Michigan is $220k. $382 is a lot of house here. Did the 'starter home' idea go away from some reason?
Median includes people that have worked their entire lives to have what they have. Which is WAY more than a millennial has now. They are just starting out. They will be below the median for a while. Maybe I'm a late bloomer. Did anyone here start at the top or even just above median? I'm also assuming "just starting out" because the example said "Save up for a down payment". I mean seriously. Who thinks they can buy a $382k house right out of the gate?

Why is this person using a 15 year mortgage and not 30, as the example?
30 year that payment is $2,289. That gives us annual income of $110k using their 25% number. Conventional wisdom is 28%, which gives us $98,100 of income.
So buy a slightly below median house.
You use the correct mortgagee, and that post it the most optimistic thing I've read about buying a house in a while.

It was, of all people, Louis CK.
I did not notice the 15 year instead of 30. Good catch. I'll argue all day that houses are overpriced currently thanks to several factors, but I knew this post was wrong.
Also, I'm in total agreement with Cake's post. The disconnection with a lot of younger people is indeed they want what their parents have now and do not have any concept of working for it, earning it, building up to it, etc.
People should be able to afford to live when they're at their first job, but not like kings.
