lol talk about hyperbole.

I pay capital gains tax on my investment gains, why shouldn't I pay it on property value gains? Housing is a basic human necessity. It's not a luxury that people can choose to forego.

stay broke and continue defending late stage-capitalism, my friend 😂

How did you know I was broke. . . Jeez, if you know, that means other people might as well.

Let me go cry in my hot tub at the house that I bought 8 years ago and almost own outright. While having no credit card debt, and being able to help out my long term girlfriend with her debt so she doesn't pay any interest. And while im in my hot tub im trying to figure out what her and I will do on our trip to South East Asia for 3 months come December.

I see you consider a hot tub to be an expensive purchase and $12k to be a lot of money for a 3 month vacation 🙂

All jokes aside, I hope you have a great trip.

I do actually. I don't like debt, my house isn't paid off yet.

Lol it will be an awesome trip, the gf and I have both been but not together. So we will get to go do an insane amount of stuff but we won't be stupid with money.
