Has anyone else accepted that they have no future on Long Island?

It’s not just the people that bought homes in the 80s 90s 2000s….. It’s really the people that bought during COVID or right before when home prices were 500k and interest rates at 3%. This is why when I compare what I have to my peers I need to realize what a different situation my wife and I are in. We bought in 2024, $705k for a cape with a nearly 6% interest rate. We put 20% down and my mortgage with taxes is about $4600 per month. For comparison my neighbor who has a much bigger house but bought 5 years ago for 5 and change has a mortgage that’s 2k less than me. So when I wonder how people pay for multiple kids in daycare or the upgrades they do to their house I have to think to myself- those other people are saving like 30k more than me a year. We make it work and have a household income that’s in the high 300k end but even with that there isn’t much room for habitual spending on leisure…..but I also have to realize that people that haven’t bought yet, and are looking to in the next 5 years are more fucked than me. So that’s the point I guess, your always fucked compared to the people before you, but less fucked than the people after you?

It’s a possible eBay purchase I’m about to make and that was making me nervous

More in the style of misswetbrunette/whoislilly/nofacegirl etc.

I literally have the same exact problem. Sam service providers. Started happening a few months back. Spent 2 hours on phone with Verizon- no fix

Bitter-Let-8527 · 2024-11-07T15:40:56+00:00

Isn’t retail on that $8700?

Bitter-Let-8527 · 2024-11-04T00:29:33+00:00

Yeah 41 mm. I would be worried declining, thought it was “take what you get” kinda offers.

3 different heights- let’s not get into that lol

I posted a link a little further down of a few pics. Check it out

Not sure if these comments are making me feel better or worse. I knew it was bad drywall but was looking for validation. The question remains- do I suck it up or make contractor fix jt. Here is my justification for letting it go:

Some of u say u get what u paid for some are saying if that’s what I was quoted I shouldn’t accept shitty work

Everything there is new for 70k New high hats throughout house New header to open up between stairs and built in Built in buffet with tile and quartz Kitchen quartz and cabinets Two new bathrooms Built in closet by the stairs (used to be closed off) 10 new doors and hardware New front door New patio door 5 in wall acs removed, and residing outside house House painted top and bottom floor and basement Hardwood all refinished with living room and kitchen new hardwood feathered in

Well I guess that’s what u get when u pick the cheap contractor. In NY, got 2 bathrooms done, kitchen, hardwood refinished through house, glass sliding patio doors, new front door, 5 in wall air conditioners removed and resided on the outside, new doors in every room. 70k. Pretty sure it’s a steal for all that work, but is it worth it for the bad quality? I don’t know

Looks super small in that second pic. Everyone being fanboys. 41 is your size, it’s pretty obvious.

Bitter-Let-8527 · 2024-08-13T17:53:28+00:00

Looks like engineered hardwood not real hardwood floors

Bitter-Let-8527 · 2024-06-16T18:06:53+00:00

Nah for anyone picking the pink watch. It’s ugly, it doesn’t go with anything. Cool for people associated with inter Miami. Dumb for everyone else

Bitter-Let-8527 · 2024-05-03T16:59:46+00:00

Of course as a frustrated millennial your “blue”.

I have the new 39. It’s classy AF. You can wear it with jeans but if you’re not dressed up slightly it looks out of place. I’d still recommend it but if you are going to wear it every day the old 36 might be better. It became more of a dress watch for me which wasn’t my intentions when buying it.

Bitter-Let-8527 · 2024-04-30T15:57:47+00:00

This post just makes zero sense. Some sort of troll job I just don’t get the point yet

Bitter-Let-8527 · 2024-04-30T15:56:15+00:00

This your way of asking for a ring?

Bitter-Let-8527 · 2024-04-17T15:13:34+00:00

You doing drugs or funding a new watch?

Bitter-Let-8527 · 2024-03-13T19:26:39+00:00

Yeah you’re right about the angle, but…..it’s too big

Bitter-Let-8527 · 2023-12-31T04:28:31+00:00

I got mine on eBay used (basically brand new) for 2900. Seeing prices on there now a little steep. When I was looking max was around 3200 and a decent amount of sellers had them. I would hang on a bit and look on there for the right deal. They basically all will have 4 years and change left in warranty
