Also trying to fight off a mugger with martial arts is generally a bad idea. If you're not armed don't resist, and if you are: Shoot them.

alright I'll shoot them with a pocket pussy, it'll freak me out so bad they won't try to mug men again... or women who are Into those things

Not sure about the high ambitions part. Most people set their bars too low I think. Aim for greatness and all that. Otherwise, good stuff.

Buy a house? Cheap? Loooooooooool.

Wait 20 years. It will seem cheap then. Trust me on this.

How expensive houses are in 20 years time means nothing if you still can't afford a house today.

"school pretty much only prepares you to be a factory worker" Good luck becoming a doctor without school.
Maraak
What I think he meant by that is that school only prepares you to fit in at that one job that'll be your worklife...
Maraak
...and outside school prepares you to find where you belong in actual life, with hobbies, interests & social life.
IWillBeProctoringTheImgur
Stopped reading after "don't have ambitions."
Maraak
That are *too high*. Everyone and their mother taking degrees to become a CEO or brain surgeon is a dead end for most.
Drafi
Because most of those people don't have the ambition it takes. When it comes to long tasks, you're the one who sets your limits, most often
IWillBeProctoringTheImgur
Exactly. True ambition requires you to overcome obstacles, it shouldn't be expected to come easy and one should never give up due to a minor

setback.

Getting an MBA or MD is still a better goal than striving to just be average. At least *have* a goal is what I'm saying.

I hate the whole "respect your elders" thing. I'll respect people who deserve it. Not all older people deserve it.

But there is a natural deference that youth owes to age.

The idea behind respecting your elders is that your understanding of the world isn't yet developed, e.g., "my parents were dumb when I was 1

You sound like a huge asshole.
ILikeCoffeeAndCats
Because I don't get people a free pass on the premise that they are old?
ArtArchive
You should respect people automatically unless they actively do something to lose it. Also, being old sucks. Don't make things harder.
ILikeCoffeeAndCats
Don't get me wrong, I'm still polite to people. I didn't see respecting someone the same as acting respectably towards someone.
ILikeCoffeeAndCats
Maybe I'm confusing respect with admiration.
LarvaLamp
Because respect isn't your default. Disrespect should be earned, respect should be automatic.
wellthisjustgotinteresting
This is neat
ILikeCoffeeAndCats
Good point. I don't immediately disrespect people either, though. I guess indifferent would be the word. But you make a good point.
Samsquantch82
These are great and so is he, but I don't know anyone who bought a cheap house and is now just chillin in it.
llandy
I think he meant cheap in the fact that house/land prices go up over time so buying earlier is buying cheaply (as in lifetime timeline)
Babybunz
Right, but still better to build 10 years of equity than rent all the way into your 30s or beyond.
Unquote
My grandparents. Cost them 60k in the 60s, has been fully paid off for years now. value is about 250k now.
chupacabraattack
Maybe he was referring to money makes money. Get equity early and you are ahead of the game and can start investing earlier. Who knows.
CrabWallet
You can't "get equity." You either create it (invention, authorship), pay the (high) market rate for good equity (blue chip stocks, houses 1
CrabWallet
in good urban areas), or bet (and probably lose) on bad equity doing better than projected (junk bonds, foreclosures in recovering 2
CrabWallet
neighborhoods). Not surprisingly, the best position to be in is to inherit enough wealth to buy good equity. 3
HurtfulTurkey
Not sure if you understand what equity is. Equity = assets - debts. You can't just "buy good equity". A paid mortgage = high equity.
CrabWallet
you clearly aren't. Don't presume to correct me when you're clearly... clearly out of your depth. 2
CrabWallet
No, stupid. Equity is an ownership interest the value of which is pegged to the valuation of the asset in question. I'm a finance attorney 1
HurtfulTurkey
"pegged to the valuation of the asset", AKA, market value - remaining mortgage value. You refer to "good/bad" equity, which makes me think 1
HurtfulTurkey
that you're lumping a bunch of concepts--dividends, risk, or perceived quality of an asset--into the term "equity", which is disingenuous. 2
Blamblam101
Thanks to property taxes you can't just buy a home, quit your job and chill.
twozerooz
After youve paid your house off you could use the equity to pay for property taxes. A lot of jurisdictions have specific programs for that
IDontSeeEnoughDarkTowerOnImgur
This is true, but I still agree with buying early to avoid throwing away rent money for years.
Babybunz
Right, but you prob can for a little while. I think he's saying build 10yrs of equity instead of renting all through/past your 20s.
LokiKingOfJotunheim
cheap house won't have much equity. And after 2008, homes took a hit to their FMV... Home equity is not liquid either. (2/2)
LokiKingOfJotunheim
Buying a house you can afford is a good idea. Equity is literally just the FMV of your home minus all leins on the property. So a (1/2)

Spent my 20s in grad school and early 30s as a peripatetic academic. All my equity is in those 3 letters behind my name.
HaveAnUpDoot
But you can pay off your house, save up a bit of coin, and then retire, because without a mortgage you can save A TON quickly.
RagingOyster
That's a BIG if though. Paying off a house isn't necessarily easy, especially if it's a house you want to retire and spend your life in
twozerooz
On a 25 year amortization you will pay it off in 25 years... not really a "big if"
JudgeRhymehold
And those pesky utilities
CrabWallet
property taxes aren't very high, and in most jurisdictions you have years to correct it if you miss a property tax payment.

I wish. Twice a year, every year. I roll mine into my mortgage payments
IOnceOwnedMoonMoonButOnceHeTriedToLickMyBallsAndRanAwayIMissHim
What?! Why do you even need to pay for that? I mean, once you own the house, why the taxes? What happens with the collected tax eventually?

Mines $1k a year for a 200k house. 10% interest compounded monthly.

butcherfan0301
Really depends on where you live. If you're in the boonies of ND then yeah it'll be cheap, if you live in or near a city in CA it'll be $$
CrabWallet
Sure, but even then, it's probably not that high relative to rent in those same areas. It's certainly not enough to make owning a bad thing.

Buy better beer...most definitely the take away from this...and don't sell that cool car.

Yeah, better beer for sure. But there's nothing wrong with having high ambitions... I'd rather take advice from someone like Warren Buffet.
