I see your point and acknowledge the depths of the rabbit hole. The banks have dug in deep. It's hard, but I'm trying to dig my way out. Debt free is just the beginning.

I agree with war1025 the overhead of managing the churn isn't worth it. Better to invest the time and brainwaves into a SaaS business or designing and building a home.

Yes. That's right. It's having a noticeably toxic effect on society. Unfortunately the banks lobby effectively against the best interest of the public. I liked Obama, but the banks owned him. Goldman Sachs had people all in his

Because a household must have two incomes now to afford a home. This comes at the expense of what is best for the family, especially the children. I think you're agreeing. Home prices are out of control.

I'm not familiar with any rules like that from the city but my neighborhood rules say I have 8 months to complete building the exterior portion of the house. There's a lot of land for sale outside cities as well with few and somet

That doesn't mesh with housing prices increasing while salaries have remained flat. The 7x increase in price I mentioned above was inflation adjusted, so your 2.6% cagr was above inflation. https://www.cnbc.com/2017&#

I bought land for $60,000. I plan to spend $100,000 on materials, utilities, fees etc and construct it myself. I want to start a revolution and want to enable people to escape the system for what is a typical down payment in most large citi

Chart median home cost vs. Median salary and you'll see the problem. Salaries have declined since the 1970s while home costs have doubled. In 1970 about 1 year of earnings could buy a house. Today it takes 4 years salary.

I value my privacy. Throwaway is my way to indicate my lack of desire for any personal gain and also repercussion from what I say. I have no reputation to protect or desire to increase credibility or other gain. I just say what I believe .

It almost made me cry to read that. You get it. You exactly get it. Thank you for writing that because it helps to keep me motivated. It's really hard.

The implication is that the banks are breaking up families because they can't afford to live close to each other any more. Think about that. They are profiting by coming between a human being and their basic human needs. They've p

No one. I am debt free. When I paid my last debt off I vowed no more. Getting a house will take building it myself and I plan to. Already bought the land with cash. I feel real good about that. I blame the banks for a lot of what's wro

Just say that up front. Before i put in an email address. Current wait list: 60,000 people (estimated hold time 30 days) but you can jump the queue for $12.99/mo or $100/yr. Done. Honest. Transparent. The site's current accou

Why is there even a wait list at all? This feels sketchy from first use. And to not be up front about the cost before getting my personal information is, I feel, dishonest. How can he expect to create a platform of honest people if he is

People pay lots of money to join real world social networks, like country clubs, so I think something like paid online social networks will evolve.

And they are both worthless pieces of jewelry. Who really cares about fake fake stuff? Some counterfeit stuff causes real harm though. Counterfeit electronics can catch on fire. Food could poison you.

I wonder how many pre-IPO investors are making money on the way down with those shorts. The "sharing economy" is a scam of epic proportions.

Or it could be about protecting employee rights against exploitative corporations who flout the law for profit. Edit: and society for that matter. See Al Capone, a murderer, being finally arrested for tax evasion as an example.

Trust is under full on assault by the nefarious among us. I ask you, how will we be able to trust moving forward? Will all transacting be in person? We can fake id's too. How will we be able to verify reality in this age of deception?

The cost of a house has gone from $30k in 1940 to $220k today, inflation adjusted. I totally feel you on that and I'm dedicated to changing that. I'm designing my own house now with the idea to simplify and automate as much as pos

I'm keeping an open mind. You haven't changed it. I did get more evidence that open sourcing software doesn't pay the bills. I don't know why you're so angry about that. Calling people names. Implying people don&#x2

Bullying is an epidemic in our society -- all the way to the very top of our political institution. People don't speak out because of the fear of repercussions. I spoke out. I was fired. My wages withheld. I was subsequently falsely re

This is due to 2 factors a) larger markets can better set price to value b) as markets grow value declines due to opportunists.

It was a swypo I thought was funny so I left it because it fit. The joke was only in my head, but I really love when the autocorrections pick something insightful.

I never created one and yet I'm sure they are still tracking me and my relationships. I suspect I have no right to not be their product.
