    I have skin in the game. These places I rent didn’t fall on my lap. I work hard to afford them and I am on the hook if someone trashed the place or just decided to stop paying rent.

    All the apartments I bought to rent were available on the same market everyone else had access to.

    In fact, I specifically seek out places that have been on the market for so long I can massively lowball the seller and get away with it. If I can do it, you can do it too.

    The key though, is to actually work towards a goal instead of mindlessly flipping burgers for $7 an hour.

      You don’t work. You play with the kind of money that even a QA manager like myself will never have. Only the people who own the business get that money because you’re all leeches who grant yourself the ability to decide who gets what.

      Watch your back.

        Lmao I wish I didn’t work, I’d love to get the 48 hours I spent at the mill last week back.

        Maybe get a job that pays better.

        Improve your life instead of bitching at the people who do.

        If you’re a qa manager, you should be making enough money to afford a reasonable place at a reasonable cost. The fact you can’t tells me everything I need to know about you.

        Don’t need to watch my back when lazy mfs like you are the threat.

          You’re not improving your life by working. Your improving your life by being a leech.

          I can afford a reasonable place at these unreasonable costs, but I can’t afford to become a leech.

              No, that shit is unreasonable. No point in you bringing it up. They’re at least producing some kind of value unlike yourself(except at your job).

                  Care to make up a reason why that’s bad and being a rent seeker is good?

                    Renting places to people who need a quick place to live for a short time: rendering a service to the community.

                    Simping on porn subs: being a loser.

                    Hopefully that clears it up.
