The videographer at my friend’s wedding this past weekend had a drone and yes I made an Obama joke.

 

Damn.

 

lol they're really upst about him this week....the replies are even more delusional

 

Also, having a wedding is worth it because you should more or less break even from wedding gifts. I think we about broke even when all was said and done, maybe finished a thousand or two in the hole at most. And by "we" i'm counting her parents because they paid for the large majority of it. My mom also helped by buying a bunch of booze over the length of our engagement so we didn't really spend anything on that.

And it helped that we didn't have to pay for a venue since we just had it on my dad's property. But venues aren't really that big of a cost compared to the food/drink. The catering was a huge cost.

 

What is a Buck Sexton? It sounds like a sex position someone named Buck would never actually get to do.

 

Seriously the replies there are amazing.....it's like his black skin just extracts the hate out of these people and they lose all sense of control

 

Guns too

 

I make about $60K per year, paychecks are roughly $1700 every 2 weeks. 4 kids, $930 mortgage, $1,000 per month on groceries, plus medical expenses, credit card, and utilities. We have a home equity loan used to pay off debt with a $200 payment and have exactly zero left over every month. We are super careful, don’t eat out and with my bonus (around 8%) we go on 1 vacation per year. If I were to make it to $75K per year, it would simply mean I can fill up my gas tank all the way instead of $15 at a time and contribute to my 401K. Other than that it wouldn’t be all that much different. I feel like I’m order to even be comfortable this day and age for a family of 6 it needs to be six figures.

 

Our rent for a 500 sq ft 1 bed is $1820/mo. I want to laugh and also cry lol

 

A 50,000 bonus would just barely wipe away my student/medical debt haha

 

Wish I had that mortgage payment ha

 

Took a refi to get there...started out much higher

 

Never heard of this tribe, but now I’m fascinated.

 

Ratio watch

 

That'd be a pretty long con job

 

Rich people simply don't have any concept what it's like for anyone in or below middle class, do they? And they don't give a shit, huh?

I shouldn't be surprised by this ever, but it still just makes me shake my head.

Insider trading doesn't apply to real estate transactions, I guess?

 

"First and foremost, the Phanatic is obviously Gritty’s dad. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and should be pelted with D-cell batteries."

Peak Philly right there

 

That's so crazy...we have a 2800 sq. ft house that we bought for $165,000 in 2010...pmt started out around $1300 and we refinanced down to $900. Boise, ID is cheap super inexpensive for housing, although with the recent population boom prices have increased quite a bit.
