The first time I ate American mac and cheese, I made a mistake.
I thought it was pasta.
No.
It was cheese wearing pasta as a disguise.
In Japan, cheese is a topping.
In America, cheese is a decision-maker.
I took one bite.
My mouth said,
“Delicious.”
My stomach said,
“We need a meeting.”
My friend smiled and said,
“You don’t have to finish it.”
I looked at the plate.
The cheese looked back.
At that moment, I understood America.
This was not dinner.
This was a yellow negotiation with my future.
A samurai does not run from melted cheese.
He signs the peace treaty with a fork.
Last nights incident in Belfast is no excuse for tonights rascist attacks. Rascists are exploiting mostly young people without thought for the consequences. People deserve better. Say no to rascism.
Marinate skirt steak (from my cow) overnight. Cook on high heat, slice against the grain. Toast ciabatta in the juices of the meat. Eat. Put leftovers away. Brag on the Internet.
With an FHA loan you need 3.5% down. For this "average" home that's $18,000. Save for 2 years and you have your down payment.
About 30 seconds of searching on Zillow I found a decent 3bed2bath in north Denver for 400k actually has a white picket fence and everything. $14k down with a standard FHA loan.
Looks Like zillow estimates $2341 a month loan taxes and such. They are always low so figure $2500. Get a roommate if it's just you paying say $800 a month. $1700/m is your cost. That's better than most apartments and you're building equity.
Saving $780.00 a month nets you $9,360.00 a year. Average home price in America: $514,600.00. You will have enough money to buy an average priced home in 54 years if you follow this asshole's advice of working like a slave and living on prison rations your entire adult life.
One of these years I'll actually learn that most people don't want solutions. They just want someone to blame. (Other than themselves)
I know I'm guilty of the same thing every so often, but my life became so much better when I stopped blaming others.
Seems like the biggest difference between the "You can't make lunch for $5!" crowd and the "You can absolutely eat for $5" crowd is that the latter group...
are tweeting from their own homes.
"Just die and give me your money already"
I told my grandfather many times before his passing. "You owe me nothing. Blow all your money in Vegas if you want. It's yours." I have and continue telling my parents the same thing.
They gave me life; a safe home and food growing up, knowledge, advice, damned good genetics and so much more.
I know what struggling feels like. And it wasn't till I started being grateful for what I had that I found a way to get ahead.
Why should your parents give adult you anything when you aren't grateful for things they gave child you?
If you're a boomer in your 60s and 70s and you own property and are well off but your children are struggling and can't even buy a home, what the hell are you doin?
Your time is over.
It's their time. Help them.
Be a good parent, do whatever it is you need to do... sell the house if you need to, give them some kickbacks to help buy their first home, etc.
Life is short. Be a good parent and don't squat on stuff that doesn't matter.
Give them their time.
This is so perfect. Socialist, just like children, need adults (capitalists) to take care of them and pay for everything while not understanding where the money/food/house come from.
Children are much more tolerable though. They cry less.
