but to put an end to this, which one of these would u want
a) tuition of 8k (or whatever..thats just what im paying) = net income of -8k
studying all the time, living at home, no car, no money to go out, if u study right, a couple night free
b) work with NO homework, but more tiring when u are actually at work and net income of say 40k
if u had to choose one of those, what would u take? my argument is just that work is way better cuz ur getting money, not that its harder or easier or anything, and when u sum it all up, id rather be working
edit: and i guess the living w urself makes expenses = crazy, but imaging trying to pay that off while in school..its impossible |
trust me man ive been in both walks of life school and work...let me tell u school is way more easier and soo much nicer..u go to class u get to socialize hang out with ur peers..sure ur broke but so is EVERYONE else in ur school...i dont even see a girl a day...u go to a school filled with them..all i see is fat overweight plumbers and ignorant ass mofos all day and they breeze down ur neck and drive u beserk...man trust me college life was so eays im a fool for dropping out i had it good...but i guess i got it good now too but im 10x more stressed then i ever have been..i mean i seem to be getting less hair on my head and more on my ass and i blame it on the "REAL" world |

yeah, my brother bought a house when he was 20. so that was 4 years ago. its a $450,000. he makes $120,000 a year though, so hes paid it off right?
Guess what Ive been doing since 2000 when he bought his house. I spent 3 months in Europe, took a road trip to Malibu for a few weeks, regularly spend the weekends several hundred miles away partying, etc. Im always off doing something. Ill be starting Law School soon. So im not even gonna be out of school until im 26.
He refinanced his house too. So he bought at 350,000 from these old people, and got it estimated at 450,000 from appraisers. so he could sell RIGHT NOW and have a 100,000 in his pocket.
Who does that though. No one. Because a house is awesome. Its gold for life. its also a huge anchor, and unless you are ready to commit every day every week every year to making house payments on time so as not the shred your credit, dont get one. A few years renting IS wasted money, unless you are saving saving saving so when you decide its time to settle down you can do so.
My brother has NO life because he works so hard. 4k a month in payments. He aint goin no where. I might be going to Japan this summer, maybe my friends and I are gonna start a small coffee company. We have that freedom. We can try something and fail, and we wont lose our house if we go broke.
You have the rest of your life to waste on scrabbling for stuff. Spend this one precious decade LIVING. Your body will never be this good again, your mind this sharp, your friends as close.
Dont tie yourself down, have fun, make some mistakes, and then get yourself together. Its like the story of the Princess who wanted to ride a lion, so while one was sleeping she hopped on. It woke up and took off only making her realize that she could never let go or shed get off and it would kill her.
This stuff just adds and adds and adds until youre up to your neck in payments and fighting deadlines, and meeting goals, and...oh man, I was going to call John last month, i havent seen that guy in two years...man we used to have fun... gotta get to work ill do it when I get home.
screw that. Im sick of this B-line towards early retirement and death at a young age that everyone in America is doing...

I'm going to sound like a bitch on a rant here, but I'm going to post this anyways. I'm not trying to start a war with you. I just felt compelled to respond to your post. I probably took what you wrote personal, but I responded just the same because it was directed to me.
This whole topic initially turned into a comparison of work to school. Somehow you went and made this a conversation on how people should live their lives more freely and not be tied down. When you start Law School your life will change. I'd be interested to see your views on this in one to two years. What do you think will happen once you start Law School? Wouldn't you agree that you will be tied down to school? You will fight more "deadlines" than you could ever imagine.
Buying a $350,000 house is not the norm so please don't try to compare your brother's life to mine. That comparison was just plain ridiculous. I would never spend that kind of money on a home that I lived in by myself so please don't insinuate that I would. I'm not crazy enough to spend $4000 a month for my mortgage payment. All the more power to your brother for living like that. That's his life...not mine. Once again...I have equity in my home and if I sold tomorrow I would make around $40,000. That's a fact...not a topic up for debate. What your brother made or didn't make when he refinanced cannot be compared to someone that has not refinanced their home. My home was new construction.
You have no clue what experiences I've had in life so please don't make assumptions. I have traveled and did all the fun things that you are referring to, but then I decided that I needed to ground myself some. I am not a teenager and I am not getting any younger. When should things like this matter to me? When I get married? Why wait until I am settled down before investing? How simple minded is that? I should wait until I meet a man before bettering myself? Please. Screw that. You would be surprised by how many men are attracted to women that are independent and can provide for themselves. I'm not the type to live by the seat of my pants...not anymore and never again. Been there and done that. Why should I live in an apartment with no privacy or rent a house where I am helping someone else pay their mortgage? How exactly do you save money when you are renting? Either way you are spending money. If you buy a house within your budget you should be fine. If not...you screwed yourself. I spent way more money a month on my rent then I do on my mortgage. Your brother's situation is different. Do not use him to base all your information on. Not everyone wants to spend $4000 a month on a payment.
I said I spend all my time working to pay my bills because it is the truth. It would be whether I rented or owned a home. That was never a question. I even said that I didn't have the problems that I do now when I lived with someone because we split the bills. He was an that liked to lie, cheat, and steal so I kicked his ass out. After that I chose to live alone because now I am in a house...not renting...and I want to call my place my own. I chose to live my life the way that it is because I could very easily get a roommate. Do I want one? No. That doesn't make me stupid...regardless of your opinion.
Body this young...friends this close...? I think (hope) that was a general statement and that you weren't speaking to me. If you were...I spend plenty of time with my family and friends. They are the foundation to what is most important in my life.
My mind will never be this sharp again? In this "decade"...? That's only ten years. Your mind will stay sharp for years...longer than a decade. You couldn't possibly say that now is the smartest that you can expect to be in your lifetime. I know considerably more now than I did ten years ago and I would expect to know even more a decade from now. You never stop learning.
Oh...and Cavaliers are a piece of . They are not reliable.
Vent over. Sorry that it was so long. :rolleyes: |

I perfer to be politically "Slang" correct, its the "Choda" or "Chode" where it was hidden, scrotum is just to formal. And all that hiding for nothing, you to put my into condensated water rings from McDick cups, for shame on you.

Few points. There are deadlines, and then there are deadlines.
There is the "ill stop sucking your dick if you dont cum in 10 seconds" and the "You dont make this youre fired, hopefully you can pay your bills" deadline. School deadlines are the former. Im a 4.0 student and I havent sweated deadlines in a lonnng time. I put time aside for that .
So deadlines arent deadlines, and comparing even Law School to real life, dont.
Plus my brothers example is just saying that you tend to live at your income level when you should be living below it and saving. Hes missed out on a lot of .
and cognitive functioning of the brain isnt the same as memory and experience. just because you KNOW more doesnt mean you can calculate as fast, make the same decisions, and keep the clarity and speed through synaptic responses. 10 years? you think 10 years isnt a long time? Your body magically stops changing in your 20s? big difference between an 11 year old and a 21 year old. and a big one between a 21 and a 31. that trend continues.
"Cognitive functions that decline include selective attention, naming of objects, verbal fluency, complex visuospatial skills, and logical analysis. Learning complex new tasks and foreign languages becomes more difficult with age."
"Intellectual abilities peak during the 30s"
"Physiologic and performance measures peak in the late teens and 20s, and then decline with age"
anyways.
Are you really arguing for your lifestyle as the way to go? Cuz, thats what it seems like. |

Absolutely not...that's your job. My statement was about owning a home as opposed to renting. You are the one that said I should enjoy life more even though you don't know me and you have no clue what I have and haven't done in my life. You have no clue how old I am. People do what needs to be done when it needs to be done. I made the decision that it was time for me to grow up. Plain and simple. I was the jury on that.
Some people need to work to get by because they don't have family and/or friends to help support them. I am not saying that is me, but it is the case for many people. Some people work their ass off to have a roof over their head because if not they would have nowhere else to go. I never said my life was the way people should live. I said that it is what works for me. I didn't use other people as examples and I didn't use quotes from research that I didn't perform myself. I stated facts based on my own life and my own experiences. You are the one that interjected your own feelings into this thread advising me that if I lowered my standards that maybe I could live a better life. Like I said before...if I didn't own a home I would be renting and I can assure you that my rent would be more than my mortgage. What would you suggest that I do instead? You said live somewhere for $300. Sure...that's going to happen. There are all kinds of places to live for $300 a month. Never mind the fact that I have two pets. No one is going to take someone with two pets for $300 a month. Please don't write some about them tying me down. Getting rid of them is not an option. I would rather worry about my bills then have nothing to worry about...no home, car, computer, phone, pets, etc.
This is what you wrote. I would assume you would have meant it to be a general statement directed at anyone that read your post, but if it was your intention it certainly did not come through in the delivery.

Maybe I have done exactly just that. Did that ever occur to you? Don't tie yourself down? To what? A house? Why not? My house is my home. Everywhere that I lived before (after I moved out) never felt like home. It just felt like a place that I put my until the lease was up. Shouldn't I make a huge life altering decision like that while my "intellectual abilities" are at their peak? Why wait until I am 40 or 50? By then my "cognitive functions" will have declined along with my "logical analysis". Do you not even see how you are contradicting the point that you are trying to make? We all know to enjoy life while we can. That's stating the obvious. Why wait to make important decisions in my life if now is the best time for me to be making them? Your quotes and reasoning support my theory that I should plan for tomorrow...today.
Final thought...please quote me where I stated anything close to this..."Your body magically stops changing in your 20s?" |

By the way...I thought I recalled something that contradicted what you wrote here and sure enough...here it is. Saving for a house? That's what I was doing Orbax and then I bought mine. This was a pointless conversation between us because you are clearly doing what I did. Screw it...I'm done debating because all it's done is create/spread drama on this forum. Take it easy.

yeah, I had my seatbelt on. It was 9:30 am, so no beer :D
Ironically I was driving it to the shop to get it fixed so I could sell it. Some chick was going like 2 mph down the hill so I passed her (she pulled over) and I did an anger shift into second gear around a corner. Apparently the road was a little slick. It was ass cold and wet, so maybe a lil black ice. If I hadnt been shifting so hard, it wouldnt have happened.
As it was, it was deemed a no fault accident. I got 1500 dollars less than what was left on my loan, but i guess in the end 1500 bucks aint that bad. I spent 7 grand on my bike, and its all paid off...just gotta be crazy careful. I took the money out of what I was saving for a house so i owe myself 10 grand back....
Next time youre annoyed, just hum or something. theyll be out of your way soon enough. |
