      How is it legal that people buy property and rent to those who want to rent instead of buy? My question to you is why wouldn’t it be legal?

        those who want to rent instead of buy?

        Who actually wants to spend 1/3 of their paycheck on something every month and not own it?

          It dawned on my that my wife and I pay 30k a year to live in our house. I made 65k last year, the most I’ve ever made and the amount I told myself in Highschool that if I could get a job making that I’d be set. Feels like I’m still bussing tables at fucking Texas Roadhouse.

          For context, im in tech and she’s in the arts. Combined we’re at about 110k a year. Wild that that feels like just scraping by.
