Somehow you turned something so lighthearted into something so pointlessly judgemental.

Like yeah we shouldn’t eat sugary cereals, and if it’s expensive a good alternative is to cut it out. This is just facts.

No need to go digging around their post history like that. It’s just kinda weird

Guess Americans can flee to Cuba

In this case I understand not downsizing until your kids are established with a job/place to live.

Depending on equity and their mortgage payment it may not even be possible to downsize without paying more per month. That’s the insanity of the current market.

Remember this is an occupied family home with an unoccupied room. Not a whole property.

What would you suggest?

A lot of kids move back after college. I definitely wouldn’t downsize until my family was secure and for sure no longer needed the space.

Now the question is it better to allow that space sit vacant or rent out the space.

I think there is a defensible position for renting out a temporarily unused space in your primary home versus buying vacant properties solely to rent.

Sure you can argue they dont need that space, but a lot of kids return after college. If I had kids I’d only downsize once they are well established. It’s about ensuring the security of your family and ensuring they have a place to come back to.

Is it better to let that sit space vacant for 4+ years though?

Not an apartment complex, but a building makes sense.

I’m not saying it’s just, but there are some loans that allow you to buy a quadplex but you have to live there. You are free to rent out the remaining units.

Exactly, I’d argue kids are the most likely to go to lengths to circumvent the rules

Forget tax havens, eventually some countries will probably become content havens and sell server space hosted there. Probably some carribean island

What’s funny is it very clearly see a bear there.

Not sure if I’d be able to make it out in person, but the image makes it so very clear to me.

Yeah stealing from random people to “survive” is not okay.

This isn’t stealing food from a store this is taking money from everyday people’s trying to rent an apartment

I avoided bullying in school by being fucking oblivious. It was effective.

Maybe that could be taught
