@Owennfa Its called interest, which you obviously knew you had to pay when you signed the loan. If the interest was so high you couldn't attack the principle then you should not have taken the loan. Duh.
@esaagar That's not how you read that statistic. 1 in 10 is 10% which obviously cant refer to all American parents since only 5% are smoking. It is saying 1 in 10 out of that 5%, so the stat is 0.5% of American parents are smoking most days, not 10%. This makes you look stupid btw.
@goddek@JoeyMannarino Actually, a median is a type of average. Mean, median, and mode are all defined as averages. Kind of weird to be a doctor and not know that.
@DicktectiveP@VlynnQ@Ichwill828 Because she is a podcaster who refuses to sell out! Don't you understand! She has to set up her kid for failure so that she can chase her dream of being an influencer (currently bringing in $0)
@VlynnQ@Ichwill828 So you don't have a job and also your husband doesn't have a job. You're broke becsuse you dont work lady. You expect your kid who just went away to college to be able to keep his grades up while also working full time with only a 30day burn out? Set up for failure.
@QueenBeee88@sickofidiots0@VlynnQ I got a $500 couch (size of loveseat) from IKEA for a new apt because my gf at time was too bougie to agree to used. It was the most uncomfortable junk Ive ever sat on & broke before move. Almost 20 years later I have a beautiful sectional <1yr old when purchased that cost $280.
@AppWoodHome@sickofidiots0@VlynnQ Id have to be a multimillionaire to justify to myself the expense of buying brand new, quality made furniture. Even the mid-price stuff is shoddy. Meanwhile, there is about to be a to of excellent quality vintage furniture going on the market from estate sales as boomers die.
@GettnGood@sickofidiots0@VlynnQ She is saying it is the equivalent to a single mortgage payment, not that it is the same as an entire mortgage. Couch is also not all you need to furnish an apartment. You need chairs, tables, desk, bed, etc etc. Decent, brand new furnishings for an apt can easily go into $4k+
@VlynnQ Good for you. We had milk crate chairs & stuff we got from Craig's List curb pickups (college kids would just dump almost new furniture from their semester outside their housing rather than move it back to mom's). Too good to sit on used couch? Guess they never stayed in a hotel?
@RickACamp@CT0347635474175@AbakpaJob You just said thar capitalism rewards desirable outcomes. So which is it? Does it reward deairable outcomes or does it not do that, but it's ok because neither does socialism? You are making two different arguments now. I am not pro socialism but you made a claim that is false.
@noagendajusttru@MattWalshBlog Boomers had the greatest engine for multi-generational wealth in all of human history. You had it better than any generation before you and still left things worse off for the generation after you. And now you sit here and act like you had it hard. The audacity is galling.
@seamonkey10 @gemini_4r If weed is really destroying you so badly that you don't even have desire for sex, money, or anything other than pizza and CoD then you probably weren't going to do anything of value anyway. How much is really lost by that hypothetical guy not reproducing?
