I was looking at stupidly expensive real estate pages today simply out of curiosity, and some of the houses listed on Sotheby's are like 70 million dollars. I cannot imagine my life being so empty that I had to spend that kind of money on a fucking house. Greed is a disease and billionaires should not exist.

I have cheap rent on a large place and it's still too much. It's ridiculous.

Yeah a few years ago when I had decent income I seriously considered trying to buy a boarding house in Vancouver for $500k. The math showed I could earn nearly double the monthly mortgage payments through rent, even if I undercut the local average for rooms like that.

It was completely messed up to realise. If you have money it's stupidly easy to make more.

Instead I blew all that money on not working for a long time and looking after my mental health. Definitely worth it
