@SamuelAnders never trust what they say. Watch what they do.

@Typo-MAGAshiv star just for "the dildo of consequence"

@imtranscending I remember his posts being decent back in the day, like early 2010s. I popped back into the sub in 2018 and his posts were dramatically different in tone by that point. My understanding is that he's gone off the deep end now.

@MentORPHEUS sounds like some left-wing-whataboutism! See I can do it too haha

@Kloi there's a big difference between buying a house in NYC, which is more comparable to your Roman example, and the many places in the US where the market/government is better.

If he wants to live in a big city then yeah it might not be as good of an idea.

@MentORPHEUS there's plenty of bad economic headwinds right now but buying land/owning a home is one of the few things that will always hold value. Stocks, commodities, ect all markets go up and down.

Owning land means real independence. Unless there is a complete breakdown of law and order, or a fucky workaround (looking at you, eminent domain), it is VERY difficult to take away from you. Its also one of the few things in this world of which there is a truly limited supply (there's only so much land on Earth, and only so much land that is actually desirable to live on) and has intrinsic value in a way that stocks, paper currency, and other stores of value do not.

@RedPirate751 As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Sereeeeeeeen-geti

@MentORPHEUS not commercial real estate. Buy a house.

@paul_ernst real estate is probably the best investment you can make. It also lets you get away from spending on rent each month.

Other options include:

Invest in businesses and ideas you find appealing or promising.

Donate to charities.

Take a vacation somewhere.

Buy huge amounts of chadcoin.

Cut hours and spend the time on yourself and your goals.

@Lone_Ranger I know that I must do what's right
