[quote=spdrun]Recessions happen every few years. We’re getting overdue for one.

Goal during the next one is to purchase enough rental housing so I can bow out of the race for the rest of my life and do whatever the hell I want to.

Fifty-sixty grand a year or so, adjusted for inflation, should allow me to rock back on my heels and enjoy life. Maybe take some Federal loans and go to graduate school. Public university, which in NYC is dirt cheap.

Since I’m cheap as hell, I don’t actually need more. I have no interest in running to keep up with people whom I dislike. I have no interest in most material things other than income-producing housing.

I buy computers and phones for under $200 an item. I’ve never spent more than $3000 for a car. No real hobbies other than travel, and I tend to travel like a student, on the cheap. I’m a born repairman with a third-world scrounger, scrooge mentality, and I’m proud of this.[/quote]

56k after tax?

its definitely illegal to borrow with no intent to repay. but what if you intended to repay with the winnings of the $5 in lottery tix u bought each week?

its definitely repayable through your estate. but what if theres nothing there,

[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=spdrun]It’s nice to be able to pick up a TV that’s a few generations old on Craigslist for $50, a non-connected coffee maker for $5, still-working appliances at the Habitat store, etc. Basically, it makes it a lot easier to be a cheap shit and recycle the leftovers of other people.[/quote]

spd, I listened to you and I have gotten some nice finds on CL for my furnished rentals, even for my own place. For example I got a used granite island that I got cut down to fit existing dining table. I got some 55 and 60″ TVs. I once bought a whole Ikea Kitchen in LA. That saved me thousands, and I got a visit a cool loft.

Problem is that you need to a truck to go get stuff

I don’t tell anyone what I bought on CL because people think it’s for poor people and it’s shameful to buy used. I even got a fancy used toilet. How’s that for eek factor.

[quote=scaredyclassic]ebay has improved my ability to acquire ridiculously overpriced japanese denim for a small fraction of retail, slightly used.

my standard of living is potentially awesome but i cant seem to spend the money to get it. for instance, heating unit died.

can afford to replace it, but i save 5k a year in ac and heat costs, plus 15k for the unit. id rather wear long undies and a bathrobe, like pioneer days and get a 5k a year annuity. its been dead for a few years now. the yield on consuming less is irresistible to me. after tax benefit, being chilly or hot is paying about 25 perc. of. the mortgage!

i got my wife a little space heater from costco. i would be willing to pony up some dough for nanorobots to clear out my arteries though

Hmm – yes, he is fat. But Hillary has gone in that direction over the last few years – she’s certainly no Elizabeth Warren. If your issue is hypocrisy – politics has a lot of low hanging fruit.[/quote]

hillary was fat, so donald fat hillary fat not a good story

now that we have the FATTEST PRESIDENT in our lifetimes, his lardness should be newsworthy, just like christies flab was news and mockworthy.

trump vote was a big f u to the establishment, but now that he is the establishment, with a goldman sachs sponsored presidency, he should be mercilessly ridiculed from day one. how do we know he was even born in the us?

in 2020, i will be stronger than i am today.

[scaredyclassic]

i predict the public will turn on him in 723 days from inauguration.

[scaredyclassic]

seems unlikely, but possible.

i think he goes for it, whatever it is.

worked for him so far.

makes me nervous tho.

i am praying at him.

[quote=flyer]Mentioned this thread to my wife, and, although she admitted she, and most women she knows prefer men who are not overweight, along with certain other physical attributes (tall, dark; tall, blonde, tan, muscular, fit, etc. and a few other traits I can’t mention because they are not pc) she also mentioned a survey she agrees with citing traits like being romantic, faithful, dependable, confident, successful, a good listener, intelligent, having a sense of humor, being a good Dad,etc. as equally important.[/quote]

important for keeping around to raise kids. get sperm from sexy dude.

please lord G-d you know there is a seed of cancer inside him, you know every seed, let thatseed double and redouble in the name of allthat is holy let that cancer overtake his system. let him be helpless to fight it off.

we thank you in the name of satan amen.

prayer changes things. it can heal the sick …and if enough people pray for death, sometimes He listens,to those prayers. G-d soes not seem to particularly mind killing off humans. ask and ye shall receive.

[quote=flyer]One possible reason some feel as they do:

That’s different I think. If something bad happens and we feel pleasure that is schadenfreude.

Actively hoping for people to die is something different.
