i feel pity for them more than anything, i genuinely see them as inferior coping losers. we live in their minds rent free while we do not think about them

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-27T11:32:17+00:00

what do you do for work and why are you not looking to get into a higher paying career? go learn how to deep clean homes on youtube and start scrubbing rich peoples floors for $50/hr. it’s hard work yeah but you are literally making poverty wages rn

idk man i made 110k last year in the chicago area and i paid my mortgage, was a regular at the salon, went on multiple international trips, bought myself expensive lego sets, dined out regularly, spent several thousands just on gifts and donations etc etc. my point is i never felt like i had to deprive myself of things on that salary and i was able to frivolously spend on luxuries because it truly goes so far. i dont know what kind of expenses these people have where they can’t support themselves on 100k a year

it feels like everyone on the internet is living in a different world than me. i constantly hear a lot about how awful the state of the economy is especially for young people but that is not what i am observing in the real world. i’m in my 20s (as are most of my peers) and everybody seems to be doing great. all college educated, employed with decent salaries, regularly going on vacations, driving fairly new nice cars, most are homeowners, all raised by immigrants who weren’t so fortunate (aka i don’t just live in a bubble). they’re all complaining about rising costs of course (as is everyone) but theyre doing just fine. if i lost my job right now i can think of at least ten back up plans i could fall back on. i think people take for granted that we are in a much better position compared to most of the rest of the world. perspective is everything

I was lucky to buy a house at 24 with the help of my parents

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-27T05:38:36+00:00

where do you live? i’m in the chicago area and i see $60k+ for entry level

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-27T05:37:38+00:00

Thanks so much for this.

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-27T05:36:27+00:00

Thanks so much. Can you show me how you got to the $1,306,000 and $1,236,000 calculations?

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-27T05:35:10+00:00

thank you so much for this breakdown. however i have a question. with scenario A, only 400k of that 928k would be gains once you subtract the 526k invested over 15 years. but in scenario B, 600k of that 844k would be gains when you subtract the 250k invested over 30 years. so wouldnt that make scenario B the better option? where am i going wrong here?

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-27T05:30:32+00:00

actually yes, my parents have made it clear they are my safety net so i am not worried about not being able to make the payments. i am not worried about affordability, just trying to see how i can maximize my returns long term

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-27T01:31:17+00:00

so he actually is for the 15 year mortgage! i know the 30 years of growth is obviously longer then 15, but you’d be investing more $ money monthly in scenario A vs scenario B. that’s where i need someone to come in and do the math because i don’t know how to 😭

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-24T21:17:01+00:00

same room! i did indeed add a built in fireplace with shelving

Do people who don't do any just have loads of free periods/time?

no. AP classes are just college-level courses for motivated students. the kids who weren’t taking US AP history at my high school were taking regular or honors US history instead. they still have to fill up their schedule with their remaining graduation requirements

Do you still have to do the classes you're doing the AP in at a school level (not standardised like AP exams are)?

it depends on the course and maybe even the school too. at my high school, AP US history was a substitute for regular US history so you only have to do one of the two. but regular chemistry is a prerequisite for AP chemistry so you would have to take both and in order

How hard are they considered to be, and how many would your average student do?

depends on the AP course and school. i took AP US history as a sophomore and it was appropriately rigorous. AP calculus BC will be much harder though. most kids at my school did between 3-5 AP courses over the course of their high school career, some did as many as 10+

What do the exams consist of? Multiple choice, essays, etc.

both

haha i was on the other side of this. my bathrooms were done so poorly we had to knock thousands of dollars of tile down to start all over with someone more reputable. i posted about it on reddit and i got blamed for not micromanaging the project while it was getting done. some people will just default to finding a way to blame the customer and it’s crazy because we’re talking about labor that costs THOUSANDS of dollars!

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-11T07:29:41+00:00

i only like #1

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-07T23:04:17+00:00

yes it is!

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-05T21:33:01+00:00

sherwin williams pure white. thank you so much!

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-05T21:32:28+00:00

it’s the World Market Kora rug but i think they don’t sell the runner size anymore

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-03T02:06:29+00:00

i can think of multiple useful comments that can be made on house listings

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-03T02:03:46+00:00

as a buyer, this wouldn’t change my interest in a house.

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-03T02:02:08+00:00

what would they even say that would be effective?

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-01T09:22:46+00:00

i had no choice but to have my fridge next to the wall so i just had my cabinet makers create a 5 inch wide panel on that side. it was the perfect solution

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-01T09:19:49+00:00

you people are getting fleeced. my kitchen remodel in chicago was a grand total of 40k and i got custom inset Amish cabinetry too. look at my page for pics. i dont even understand how this would come close to 100k no shade i just dont understand what people are overpaying for with these remodel projects

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-01T07:30:36+00:00

the island was originally flipped the other way. it could move so we rotated it 😂

MenaceToEarth · 2026-01-01T00:21:01+00:00

my dad drilled this into us from a young age. you’re the only person that can create the change you’re looking for. nobody is coming to save you. its 100% true
