I just got an email from my landlord that my rent is increasing by $90 a month. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a raise that worked out to that much. Am I just supposed to die eventually?

real talk, you should ask them why. chances are its because the real estate (scumbags) told them they could get more. speak directly to your landlord and ask them if that sort of nominal increase is really related to the ongoing viability of the property as an investment or if they've just been instructed that they should. Ask them to hold off on raising it for another year or something. unfortunately renters dont have much negotiating power if any, but theres always a chance that if you ask them person to person they will hold off on increasing.

I know its very cool online to decry landlords as literal vampire cave-dwelling succubi morloch creatures but if you state a reasonable case they may hold off on the increase.

but to answer your broader question maybe stop buying avocado toast

If you think about it, the longer you live in a place the more attached to it you become, so its sentimental value to you is always rising.

Remember how you always thought you’d make a good career criminal? You’ve noticed that you’re smarter than most people; careful, reasonable, logical. You’ve kept your nose clean your whole life so nobody would ever suspect a thing from you. And you’ve seen enough TV and movies about crime to get you started on a graft of some sort, right?

Start small and work alone, but don’t be afraid to grow the operation once you start to get the hang of it. Find a wheelman, a trigger, maybe a dirty ex-cop or two, and now you’ve got a crew. But do remember to keep some sort of leverage on each of them, like security footage of a crime or an audio recording of an admission of guilt. That way you can hopefully help protect yourself against snitching.

Now’s the time my friend. You can do this!

And remember, if you’re going to steal, steal only from privately owned giant corporations to ensure your impact on honest hardworking folk is minimal. And if you plan to get involved with the drug trade, limit how much you dip into your own supply.

Good luck OP!

I used to live in this apartment that started at an okay rate but would raise the rent by $200/mo every year when we renewed the lease and then one year they only raised it by $90/mo and then after the new lease for that year was all signed and completed the property manager came back at us and was all "oopsie i messed up on the lease and accidently raised your rent by what the increase would be if you were going monthly and not a full year lease it, should have been a lot more can you sign a new one for the proper amount please?"

and me and my roommates just lolled real hard, eat poo poo lady

Yesterday I was getting 20 per bunny but if an arrow and beastmaster hit it was much more. All the rabbit fur is clogging up my machine though so I don't know how long it can keep up with the rising costs.

selling cocaine is basically stealing from rich people. i'm just saying it has a lot of perks like
-sexy women like it
-lots of money
-rich people like it
-everyone likes it
-smells great
-makes you basically the coolest person.
-fun to do if you don't get too carried away
-one of the only ways to make money that will surely result in having sex without trying

i'm not encouraging anyone to sell cocaine. what i said is true though.

I guess this is true for everyone involved because when I escorted everyone wanted to do coke, I never paid or sold the thing it just came for free with every client.

I hate when they use +2 ice swords to mine crypto just because they're cooler. First, there are picks for that, second, stick to the MSRP you fucks.

Still makes more sense than rent increases.

They just snuck in a huge 1.7 trillion bill when most congress people were absent due to Christmas. They do poo poo like this every year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JdfguxEpPw

I know most people here are massively anti-Republican, but that is the one thing about Republicans... they don't do massive spending like this, or vote for bills that spend too much, etc.

So, you can vote Republican in 2024. No way in hell Trump will be nominated. So he'll run independently. MAGA dumbasses who would vote Republican will vote for Trump, which will take votes away from the Republican candidate.

The above is the main reason I will be voting republican in 2024. Biden will likely run again, and I can't vote for an administration that approved what you see in the graph above, despite being warned be a multitude of economists. I can't deal with the inflation, as well as the Federal Reserve responding to it by constantly raising interest rates, driving down the value of stocks in people's 401K and other portfolios. If that makes me a piece of poo poo, then so be it.
