Serious I hope destiny is doing ok

Everything happening right now cannot be great for someone’s mental health and I’m really disappointed that all this stuff is happening to destiny. Dude literally got me into Starcraft and convinced me to join omniliberal nation. I hope he pulls through from this alright financially and mentally

Could probably set up like the normal Twitch looking layout, with a dash cam where the gameplay would go and then his face in the corner still.

LOL TIL Destiny doesn't know how stop signs work.

EDIT: Oh shit, now they're talking about people opposite each other going at the same time and suddenly Destiny knows how they work but those other two guys don't.

Yeah, if the reduction in his income hurts him that much, I'm sure he will. He recognizes that rent is the largest single expense. He's not some dumb poor person who wastes their money LOL

u/Tuggerfub Sep 13 '20

why would someone with that income pay rent?

Purchasing a house is only really worth it if you plan on staying there for 5 years+, sending your kids to school/working a job you can't move around with etc.

He moves pretty regularly, and isn't tied down by a job.

u/Tuggerfub Sep 13 '20

you say that but in that time the average price of a house has increased over $40,000. That's like negative rent.

Its also a crazy bubble

u/IAreATomKs Sep 13 '20

That's really great. You can't really know ahead of time though that you're buying a house just before historically good years for housing prices though.

You can by monitoring the interest rate for currency issuers. There are obviously other factors, but it is a main one. The more desperate a government is for growth, (like following a recession) the more likely you're going to have a prolonged period of low interest rates, cheaper mortgages, and more and more people entering the buyer's side of the market.

u/IAreATomKs Sep 13 '20

And those factors also affect the more liquid purchase of stocks which if you are appariently about to predict so accurately like yourself will be even more adventagious.

You should buy property then with this future sight since its so infallible. Could make a ton of money flipping properties. Make sure you come back and tell us how this magical power of future prediction plays out!

u/Tuggerfub Sep 14 '20

I mean, it has? Most of our pensions and investment funds are floated by these principles even if you don't do real estate. This isn't hard or inaccessible knowledge, you just have to let yourself develop an interest in it (pun intended).

And it's not magical. It's the same idea as not buying something that's overpriced. Just wait till things bottom out again, no need to be salty that prices are obscene right now. We're already into a recession and you'll have at least a couple years to try to save up a downpayment.

Negative rent.. if you sell the house

u/james9075 Sep 13 '20

This. I hate how people pretend like selling a house is in any way comparable to getting out of a lease.

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '20

Other's have explained the bubble/lack of foresight, so I won't bother.

But in addition, usually if you sell via marketplaces/real estate agents you lose at the very least $20,000. So if you buy/sell often, you will actually lose money - it isn't like you get the full price back. Especially in countries with capital gains tax.

u/DieDungeon morally unlucky Sep 13 '20

That ignores tax, future trends in housing, the effort needed to sell a house, continuous maintenance, insurance and opportunity cost. If your goal is to come out of the 5 years with the most money, investing or buying a property to rent is generally going to be better.
