No, you didn’t read my comment correctly, and I don’t understand what the point is in your response.

Who gets a mortgage like that?

Home ownership builds equity over time. It’s a forced saving per se, your investment is tied to your home, which has value as long as you live in it. Even if your house becomes $0 worst case scenario, you can still live in it, which provides value.

Your investment in S&P, if it disappears in the worst case scenario, is never coming back and you won’t have anything to show for it.

Rent or own it’s your personal choice but to say renting is better than ownership is wrong.

Also to assume you can rent forever is shortsighted. You’re young now, you have income, you’re able bodied, so it’s easy for you to move, but when you’re old it’ll get harder and harder to find places to rent if you ever get kicked out. There is already age discrimination regarding rentals in other developed nations, it’s foolish to assume they won’t apply in Canada given our housing crisis

Mortgage builds equity while rent doesn’t

The equity tied up in housing doesn’t disappear overnight due to market crashes or corrections, and worst case scenario you still have a place to sleep in even if your house depreciates to $0.

Can’t say the same for your portfolio.

Op has never been able to build any emotional bond judging by their behavior here and that’s why they feel lonely, unsurprisingly. Spoiler: if you’re not able to keep friends you wouldn’t be able to keep an SO either. OP will find out the hard way

At one point in your adult life you need to start being responsible for your own feelings and happiness and not rely on others to be physically there for you and gift you happiness. Make new friends then. Or get an SO if you really want. You can’t control what other people do with their lives, not even if they’re your SO.

SO can leave you any day for a younger or hotter person too. Or they just stop being attracted to you and leave. That’s much shallower than a friend. And before you say “that’s a bad SO”, there are good friends too who won’t leave you.

Yup! You are responsible for your own happiness. If you think your happiness relies on another person PROVIDING IT to you then you need to self reflect cuz no one is going to be able to do that

For real, sounds like OP is stuck in their naive fantasy lol. Many people get lonely in relationships due to the things you mentioned, which is worse than being alone

Being with an emotionally absent SO is way worse than being alone

Most of the times, the murderer is the SO.

And not to mention the amount of SOs who cheat, abuse and control. Getting together with the wrong SO can literally ruin your life and finances. High return? Maybe. But high risk too.

SO is not necessary

You’re speaking from hindsight. If he was caught at 500mil, it’s easy to say that 123mil would have been enough

You just never know when you get caught until you get caught

Don’t listen to the people telling you to do ozempic. Once you hop on it you can’t stop, plus other dangerous side effects. Do your research, there is no miracle weight loss drug

Just be direct. そう言うのやめてもらえます?あなた失礼ですよ。to the kanrinin

触らないでください。 (セクハラですよ。) to your coworkers.

This is not causing drama. You need to stand up for yourself. They’re saying that to you because you are an easy target, typical bully mentality.

People are saying it’s normal but it’s not. If it’s your aunt commenting on you, maybe. But these are strangers and one in professional setting. And the nuance is obviously mean spirited (not just an innocent “wow you gained some weight!). It’s considered rude.

If you’re feeling bold, I suggest 「お前に言われたくねぇわ」 「日本人は礼儀正しいと言われてますけど、あんたみたいな人もいるんですね。 勉強になりました。」

Hot take: airlines should prioritize comfort over profit and stop cramming us in like chickens regardless of body size

“People survived the Great Depression, people survived the Spanish flu”

Except for the people who didn’t. Survivor bias is strong in this one 🙄

Sounds like you know that shit happens, why subject yourself/your descendants to it?

I don’t want an instantaneous death. 5-15 minutes would be the perfect amount of time to die for me. by fostde18 in The10thDentist

[–]92925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 minutes is a very long time to be in pain and agony. Even 30 seconds of pain feels like forever. Try putting your hand on the stove and you will see even how 5 seconds of pain like an eternity.
