I agree we all are entitled to our opinions JWM and I certainly didn’t say anything about people should hold back.
This is not like a new poster or anything like that. The guy has been on Piggington for awhile. I don’t agree with his buying either. The absolute best thing for him to do fiscally is to simply continue to rent. Buying a little little less expensive turd rather then a big expensive turd is still buying a turd…
No I am sure she will not divorce the guy for not buying. However I think that every situation is different and what is presented here is a sliver of what some people go through. He clearly stated they can afford 4S now if they wanted and he clearly stated that they are thinking of a long horizon. Even with that I don’t agree with the decision to buy.
Sound logic would dictate not to have children either. They are a pain in the ass, they are expensive as all hell, they crap all over, pee everywhere, hurl and drool and they have the uncanny knack to wait until you have just changed clothes to leave you with a huge goober, they take every freeking minute of your time until they are old enough to tell you to butt out of their life, and then they leave. Is it logical to want those? Are you kidding me? More then half of my friends who are married are like, no chance we will ever have kids… in this world? There is no logic to that. Granted it is a poor analogy but life is not all about sound logic to every person.
Your tone is okay, you are passionate about the beliefs and you are not trying to be hurtful, you are just trying to pound logic into people because it amazes you that they even consider making the purchase. That is why I think you come down hard with the hammer. It makes sense and in the end you are just trying to save this guy some hard earned money which is actually kind hearted. I do think you easily swat away any other personal issues because in your opinion they are of no consequence whatsoever.
I am trying just as hard not to counter the fiscal argument but to at the very least consider that life is not all sound logic for some people.
