This is difficult to explain. I can’t figure out a rule of thumb for spending, the prices of things fluctuate so quickly it’s confusing. Here are some examples...
With rent you’re just paying to live there. With a mortgage every payment means you own more of the place (equity). If you have payed off the mortgage or didn’t need one then you have equity that you can use for last-ditch funding.
Good point on the basement but the overall concern seems to be that the cost of real estate (including renting) is getting so it’s not feasible for most people to move along from just renting (if they choose to).
My mother-in-law did a phone call and I chewed her out. I couldn’t believe it but then she complained about “kids these days” being on their phone at a restaurant and I pointed out that she was holding her phone and that we were at a restaurant. She shut up.
Ah. I wasn’t sure of the context and wanted to clarify. I was pretty sure but I’m tired and my last post only got one comment about the post being too long.
Maybe there should be a Rule about other techs making work for you.
I’m reminded of a post recently where someone asked how to get rid of a dialog in Windows and got swamped with replies saying to install Linux. It’s like getting a check engine light in your car and being told to buy a truck.
My car serves my needs more than a truck does. Not only is it easier for a wheelchair user to get in, I can load/unload easier and it’s more comfortable for me to drive.
I’ve ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi’s quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I’ve broadened it...
Why does the value of things in dollars not make sense?
