For 30 bucks you can get 2gb of data on tmobiles service through simple mobile and poo poo actually works the way it's supposed to, plus you can bring whatever phone you want. It's not like anyone ever needed sprint

lol there's no way I'm buying a house here. I rent just like you and don't have my 7 figgies yet.

realtalk if you're buying a 2 mil home you should have 10 mil or so in the bank otherwise you're putting an unreasonably huge chunk of your wealth on a single asset in a bubbly as gently caress market

and if you have 10 mil in the bank you should loving retire and move out of SV
