You're being racist and sexist by assuming wealthy westerners or those in stable relationships or those being able to call home to family are white males. If that's not racist I don't know what is. I don't think it takes

My yubikeys have survived dips in the ocean, spilled beers, run over by cars, dropped in pans of used motor oil, left out in thunderstorms, and multiple trips through the washer and dryer. They're still fine even after a decade.

My garage doesn't even have enough space for all the various vehicles my family uses near daily. It doesn't have the space for the tools I use monthly. I barely even have the space for the workbench I use every other day. I have t

So, own nothing. Every square footage of every home costs $$$ to keep in your possession. I pay a mortgage. I pay insurance. I pay taxes. I pay maintenance costs. There were acquisition costs in the purchase of it, and there will be acquisi

Rebuying decorations every year is also a leak on finances. Rebuying a bunch of camping gear (more than I can comfortably store in my home) is also a leak on finances. It's far cheaper to use a storage unit for a lot of this stuff I d

Almost all the buildings in those postcards look old, plain, and boring to me. Some look decent. The Radio City Music Hall building, while definitely impressive for 1932, just looks old and worn out and it's and old postcard. Ooh wow a

Personally I'd rather spend my time in the building with large windows and tons of natural light than holed up in that dark old castle thing. That prison building is overly stylized to my taste. And given how complex the exterior is an
