Things poor people say/do

>You almost pay as much rent as mortgage here.
exactly and you have to spend on your home as much as the price again in 20 years
so if you rent you pay only half as much and you get no equity.
so renting is not superior and not inferior unless the price moves from the ratio. but ownership is more risky than renting that one is for sure.

renting is one of the most retarded things you can do famelam. Only reason not to buy is if you are only staying for less than 4 years and even then you might just rent the house out when you leave.

I live with my parents and pay £100 a week. UK.
They do not have a mortgage.
Last I looked at my farther account it had £427,443 in it, my mothers (shows up on website because shared account) £19,300.

>I have a Traditional 401k instead of a Roth
Why not both?

I'd be crazy not to take advantage of a 100% return from employer matching.

>It's better to keep buying $3k-$7k cars when they break down than it is to buy a newer one
Nah, you never know when that car is going to cost you thousands to keep safely on the road.

I'm done with that, and I lease now.

I know exactly what I pay every single month, and pretty much every single thing is covered between warranties and full comprehensive insurance.

No surprise costs, and I get to drive luxury cars for a much cheaper monthly payment.

I'll never own a car without a full warranty again.

>Only reason moving out is for work abroad
Unless you consider another city in your country 'abroad', this is simply stupid.

My parents life in a small town where there is few tech jobs.

It'd be a disservice to my career to try to build it there, so I moved to a reasonably close metro area.

>find cheap easy to fix cars
>fix and sell for a much higher price

being a mechanic is great, it's like 2 weeks of work for at least 1k profit

>A single with an income of 1k a month is hardly what I'd consider poor
That's very, very poor, depending on what country you're in.

In the US, that's simply not enough to get by unless you live in the most remote tiny market community.

>Out of your parents house at 19

Did you drop out of school at 13 to work in to coal mines as well, grandpa?
