I just find it curious that sometimes that style of cabinetry looks amazing and other times that style of cabinetry looks cheap plus poopy.

for me it's any shiny design, no matter how expensive. just looks like trash. matte all day baby

an acquaintance of mine is constantly talking about minimalism and letting go of belongings, but what it means in practice is that he just hires people to do laundry, dishes, yardwork, home repair, and then eats out all the time

I'm trying to get my cousin outside Austin to move to Colorado. At least the rent is affordable in my area.

No dice so far. I don't get what he sees in the place anymore. He's a musician and says the local scene has gone to poo poo.

the music scene is awful. live music is dead. i used to hang out in smoky bars when i was eighteen and listen to bands all the time

Home prices increased like 20% over the past year. How uniform is that? Like if you were able to come up with 10% down on a $1M and swing the $5k/mo payments you could sell in a year or two with a substantial windfall. Is there turnover housing data pointing to a segment of buyers treating home purchases as a short term stock trade?

you gotta live somewhere, and people tend to move to more expensive places each time

i thought a friend of mine at amazon earned like 140k/year but turns out it's closer to 320k. he's a loving idiot with a serious drinking problem. hearing that number made me hyperventilate; 60k/year may as well be infinite money to me, that would triple my income. i'm going to die poor and i don't know what to do about it

Why aren't they hooking you up with a job that pays well like them?

my internalized "more money = better than" has murdered my self esteem and I wallow in pity instead of improving things because it seems so daunting. I see my friends in do-nothing makework jobs and honestly tell myself I couldn't do it; I've never worked in an office or gotten a salary before and I'm 37 so it all seems so impossible because I graduated into the 2008 recession and nothing ever gets better

lol it's been a couple years but I paid for linkedin premium to message a bunch of recruiters and the few that responded just said "sorry can't help". it was pretty devastating, but I definitely give up too easily on these things
