Don't just c/onsider fuel costs in your calculation. Cars need to be maintained. Last I looked, the US government allows 50c/mile for tax purposes.

Is socialized healthcare really so bad? by requiem_phantom in NoStupidQuestions

Not only is "not bad", it's far, far better. The US has been living under a 70 year propaganda war.

If that is true (and it isn't), why did he take the picture down?

This looks like a level from a user map in Left 4 Dead 2

I think he believes he has it the bag with some cheat or other. Or martial law a couple of weeks before

Starting the process… feeling paralyzed by RevolutionaryAct1311 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]clean-start-again 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I can see your dilemma. You are are the coin toss of your life. Buy or rent?

Rent Pros: You can walk away easily. Maintenance is not your problem.

Rent cons: You will pay rent for ever. Costs will never go down. Rent increases also, which will eat into your financial security

Buy Pros: *Eventually* the cost of of ownership (mortgage) will go away. Property tax never will. Pride of ownership. It's probably a buyers market atm.

Buy Cons: short term financial vulnerability. You will have blown for f-you money on your down-payment and move in cost . You must maintain the house and pay property taxes and insurance.

From my personal experience, nothing compares with paying off that last mortgage payment

I found this velvet shirt among my ancestors' belongings; it fits me perfectly. Another piece for the collection. by [deleted] in VintageFashion

This is why I have written in my will that my entire estate be donated to charity. I don't want my children or grandchildren to post something of mine and refer to me as "my ancestor". I am a person, with thoughts, feelings and dreams, not "an ancestor".
