I somehow stumbled into having the top floor of a huge house built in the 1860s in a cool, walkable neighborhood for 900 a month (really 450 since my boyfriend and I split it). There's no way a mortgage in my area would be as cheap

mcmagic posted:I actually think this is fine public policy but 1) it can't possibly save much money and 2) democrats should DEFINITELY run on Republicans wanting to cut 401k benefits. lol no it's not it's terrible. it's cutting long-term tax revenue for short term gains and kneecapping one of the last ways what little middle class we had left to save for retirement. all so wealthy people can shovel more money to their kids. it's bullshit. i want to be totally clear: people paid taxes on 401ks. it was just a matter of paying it later when there was more money rather than paying it up front. this is a transfer to the wealthy- plain and simple

Deified Data posted:I'm really conflicted. Like, this guy absolutely can't win, can he? Is it insane of me to think that a republican winning for being a republican is better than democrats accepting the shifted overton window and just running as republicans from now on? Democrats have to learn that they can't win this way and I don't know how to impart that lesson apart from losing. Even then, maybe they weren't conservative enough. Yeah, that's pretty short sighted of you, especially when lost elections generally don't teach the lesson you want. Even with the stupid idiot thing northam said he still represents a totally different philosophy than his racist rear end opponent and will make a tremendous amount of difference in the lives of ordinary people here. How you can say that centrists should lose to Republicans thus bringing about the proper ascension of leftism after 2016 boggles the mind.

Like was incentive is there for businesses to pay employees more if the government is just going to cut worker's taxes? it won't and they know it. profits are already at record highs. if anything this incentivizes them to funnel even *more* money out because they're now even less dis-incentivized towards doing it.

Suburbs are terrible for cities and the environment. Just live in a condo and lobby your local government for good zoning and city planning. Oh, what's that? You can hear your neighbours sometimes?! Yeah, better waste tons of resources so that you can live on a lovely lot in the burbs.

There's no way a mortgage in my area would be as cheap The only reason my now wife and I bought a house was because, broke as we were, in late 2009 buying a house was waaaaay cheaper than renting. Our mortgage in a cool part of town in an old American 4-square is still < $500. No WAY we could sell with the housing market now, the whole area has swung back the other way so far we'd have to move out of town to buy again.

Ringo Star Get posted:Bought a house this year and my mortgage is still cheaper than what I would have to pay for if I were to rent. Too many apartments have paperthin walls and cheap flooring, and amenities get too expensive, not to mention if you have a crazy landlord. See, I like the sound of that? But there’s wildly varying advice on whether renting is a better deal than buying. Especially when mortgage < monthly rent. Boston in particular is crazy for this. Hard to justify a 1br apartment for $1700/mo in comparison to houses with mortgages like $1100~1400. It’s hard to know what the right thing to do is. The only thing I know for sure is not to get a house if you’re not sure you’ll stay in the area for another 5~10+ years, which in your mid to late 20s is a really tough call.

Where I live, a $265,000 2/1 house has monthly payments of $650 (tax + insurance). I can rent one of the rooms in that same house for about $750. And I don't have to care about having to repair poo poo that breaks, or paying for lawn care, inspections, etc. etc. So yeah, like I said, it depends on where you live, and how much rent is in relation to property prices, taxes and insurance.

Boston in particular is crazy for this. Hard to justify a 1br apartment for $1700/mo in comparison to houses with mortgages like $1100~1400. There's no right answer. Live where you want to live, ultimately. Apartment living was miserable for me. Friends of mine however, love not having to worry about maintenance costs/time in their apartments and for whatever reason don't mind living in a box full of assholes. Financially, in most areas, the choice is probably a wash either way. Mortgage might be cheaper in areas, but an apartment dweller will never have to drop 15k on a new driveway.

People talking about buying being cheaper than renting is always a little confusing to me. I guess maybe if you're comparing buying in the suburbs vs renting in the city? Just buying a condo (never mind a house) in my neighborhood in Denver would likely be at least twice as expensive as renting.

If you buy a house and end up moving you can always hold the house out for rent. If you hire a management company it's generally not much hassle. As long as you can wind up cash flow neutral (or, ideally, cash flow positive) you get the appreciation on the house "for free." Plus, with depreciation expense, you can often find yourself cash flow positive but with a deductible loss for taxes. Houses are not vehicle for speculation, and it's a serious choice you need to strongly consider before buying, but anyone telling you categorically that homeownership is a bad choice is in fact an idiot.

Just buying a condo (never mind a house) in my neighborhood in Denver would likely be at least twice as expensive as renting. Buying is way cheaper than renting if you roll the dice and get lucky and the property appreciates faster than inflation. After factoring in appreciation that I realized when I sold it, my last house cost me $200/mo to own for 4 years.
