I pay 2k/month for ONE ROOM in a 3br/3ba place in Manhattan. Granted, the location is great and the space is cool, but I dare not even think about that price in context because that's some kind of Lovecraftian horror to me.

My mortgage is slightly less a month than the rent I was paying to stay in a "luxury" apartment in the good part of the Memphis area.

And I got almost a full acre of land and got it for like 20-25k less than it was valued at and the value has gone up in the two years since we bought.

4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2 car garage and almost an acre lot. It's a lot of goddamn house, I mean a lot of goddamn house.. but we like it and I have a little shed/shop off in the backyard that I spend all my time in.

Just put a new 50 year roof on this bitch and got new gutters installed too.

Backyard is a forest so I pay the yard people $200 every month or two to get rid of leaves. Thought that was retarded expensive but the next best quote was $450. It's a big yard and a lot of trees and leaves. And an expensive area.

Originally I just bought a leaf blower and was doing it myself but that just meant spending whole weekends blowing leaves and bagging them.

Anyway I bought in a really nice neighborhood in a really good city, and I'm super happy to not rent anymore.

Jfc I rented a two bedroom off the N in Astoria for half the price in 2010.

I've been on my meds consistently for a few years now.

Bye bye crazy fun Shim and hello boring suburban yuppie Shim.

Also I'm retired and not in school right now because the VA is assholes so I'm essentially a house wife. Except I refuse to clean and I just get stoned as gently caress all day everyday and watch Hulu and Netflix.

I go through a case of Diet Canada Dry Ginger Ale every few days. No caffeine or calories, perfect drink for me. Can't do uppers like caffeine, or even sudafed, or hell even a sugar rush because it makes me manic.

I drink a lot of sparkling water these days. I bought a sodastream and pretty much only drink that. No sodas, no soft drinks. I've considered drinking nonalcoholic beer but... well, it just seems like a slippery slope to me.

I drink wine on occasion- but I stopped being a drinker sometime in 2010-2011. I did controlled drinking after I did rehab and I was fine but honestly now I just hate the feeling of drunkenness anymore. I much prefer weed.

Weed is life. Well, shatter these days, but it comes from weed.

I have to wonder if I'd enjoy it if I did start drinking again. I certainly didn't enjoy it in the last year or two of my drinking days.

But I have no doubt that it'd trigger my crazy brain and I'd throw my life away all over again.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Welp, the cops just came to my apartment because my Korean roommate decided to attempt to murder us by burning popcorn in the microwave. Explaining to the cop how you gently caress up microwaveable popcorn to the point of an apartment fire was a bit of a challenge. My roommate innocently claimed to have followed what he thought to be the instructions that said "four minutes", when they actually said "most microwaves will finish the product in considerably less than four minutes".

So he just dialled in full blast for four minutes and went to his room.

Cop was like "He knows it's done when the popping noises stop, smoke is generated, and actual fire happens, yes?"

Silver lining: We found out that our smoke detector doesn't detect smoke, despite indicating full-functionality on both old and fresh batteries, so my roommate almost burning the apartment may actually save us in the future. We're also probably not getting charged for the damage, since housing seems somewhat concerned with the fact that it has installed non-functional smoke detectors.

Man I'm glad I've never had a roommate that I wasn't married to.

Never heard someone be like "drat glad I've got these roommate!"

It's always bad news and poo poo.

Marriage is too but love paints over the rough parts of living with another person.

Honestly dude I like it. Auckland is crazy expensive anyway so no one can really afford to live here on their own and the people I live with are chill af

And it's nice for me to have a group to come back to after months at sea.

Kooler than Jesus
My daughter nearly burned down my apt complex when she was like 4. She woke up before me and decided she was hungry and put some hot pockets in the microwave. The entire thing. Wrapper and all. No idea how long she set it for but she ran into the bedroom crying to wake me up and the entire livingroom & kitchen was thick black smoke. Smoke alarm did not go off. Fortunately only the microwave was a loss and kept the small fire contained within it. Also fortunate I had a big rear end box fan and could evacuate the smoke in a few minutes.

Roomed with HDI for a while. We raised potatoes that sprouted roots from sitting in the pantry too long, petted a neighbor/coworker's dog all the time, played video games, and bought guns.

It was a good time.
