Not trying to divert this thread - this thread is way too much fun - but people have been asking me and it's easier to make a post or two than to reply to every DM - I was a subtenant at the old place and the tenant's default got us all kicked out. HE was evicted and the landlord had to fix a number of things, plus he remodeled and returned the house to market at 2x the old rent, which the rest of us could not afford. So I ended up in a tiny tiny 8 x 8 room where I got my own internet, an 18" x 18" folding table with room for my laptop and a desk lamp. Not enough space to work with.
That's bullshizzle. I started my computer business in a 3' x 5' closet.
You need to change your alias. You don't understand the free market, and you don't understand that having the drive to succeed despite obstacles is what makes successful people what they are.
All you have are excuses for why you can't do it. And that's all you will have, until you stop making excuses and blaming your failure on everything else, except for the true cause- *you*.
some that work hard make good money, and some don't - primarily through their own skill limitations.
some don't work hard or at all, and live off the money created by those in their prior generation,s and some don't work enough and pass that down as acceptable to their future generations.
Things I learned from National Homeownership Month:
Children of homeowners are 25% more likely to graduate from high school than children of renters of the same age, race, and income.
Children of homeowners are 116% more likely to graduate from college than children of renters of the same afe, race, and income.
Children of homeowners have 9% better math scores and 7% better reading scores than children of renters of the same age, race, and income.
And the average homeowner's net worth is 35 times the net worth of the average renter. (I think they meant median rather than average, but don't know that for sure.)
The original post should have read:
Things I learned from National Homeownership Month:
- Children with parents who make sound financial and family decisions, plan ahead, do not succumb to instant gratification, and work to build good credit, are more likely to graduate from highschool & college, have higher test scores and higher family net worths.
PLUS ownership. Because only ownership builds wealth, provides security, and makes you immune from rent inflation.
Problem with apartments and trailer parks is they don't enable ownership.
People don't need to be enabled.
