    Mfer I’m about to move back with my parents specifically so I can buy a house. Even cutting back luxury spending (read: eating more than rice every night), my rent takes up too high of a percentage of my monthly income for banks to loan me money. I’ve managed to save up enough cash for a 20% down-payment on a modest house, but banks still won’t loan the other 80% because half of my paychecks go directly to rent.

    But I’d expect nothing more intelligent from a property-flipping UTK alumni. This kind of stupidity is exactly what that university spits out.

      Yeah, but have you thought of instead of moving in with your parents you just worked jobs non stop? You don’t have to spend on housing if you work 24/7.

        This has been one of my friends suggestions to me, he brags about how he does bullshit jobs and works multiple at the same time and now is a perfect time for me work about 3 jobs at once even though he is a project manager and “software developer” and I am customer support and installation which means I have no time and work 50+ hours a week and am only allowed to bill 40. He makes 360k a year and works like 12 hours a week in total.

        My dad recently suggested I hire people in India to do my job and then pocket the extra money and find a new job while they do my work.

        I fucking hate modern society.
