@dom_lucre@CyberGreen09 Man the amount of hate and jealousy. These people are serious about education and hard work. This is the result. Bunch of lazy complaining americans want shit for free. If you can't afford shit it's because you aren't doing shit. Truth hurts
🔥🚨BREAKING: Many American are furious after this post claiming we are getting robbed by foreigners started going viral.
@CyberGreen09 “Americans are getting laid off every day while foreigners on work visas, (often hired through ethno-nepotism, fake credentials, and shady kickbacks), get to live the American Dream.
They're buying new oversized homes in Texas while American workers can't even start families.”
@theficouple 100% false. Price does NOT equal value (worth). A home has nearly the same "value" day after day, year after year. However, the price may fluctuate wildly over time. Grandpa bought a house for $4,000, Dad for $40,000 and today for $400,000. Yet they each has the same value.
The $350,000 home you’re worried about buying at 6.5%?
Good chance it’s worth ~$520,000 in 10 years… or less.
Housing market isn’t crashing anytime soon.
@somaekporkbelly@minenergybiz That is their AISC. If gold isn’t above that it doesnt make sense to keep the mine operating. Basically worst case without closure.
@peterfoleybos@JBTC1971@jason334990@vrexec I invest and rent. I had a house for a couple years and sold because it isnt worth it. One thing not mentioned is if you stay in the same job you get a measly 2-3% raise but if you change jobs you get 10-20% raise. We got a 20k signing bonus and a 15% raise last time.
I'm doing some back of the envelope math on buying vs renting.
Say you buy a $1M house with 20% down at about 6% mortgage rate and plan to stay there for five years.
Your principal paydown in the first five years is about $57,000, but you've paid about $230,000 in interest.
You've also paid roughly $100,000 in property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
Say the house appreciated 2.5% every year — so when you sell it's worth about $1.13 million.
Your all-in costs to sell are about 7.5% — brokerage commissions, transfer taxes, attorney fees, title insurance, and the inevitable post-inspection negotiation. On a $1.13M sale that's about $85K in fees.
So you net about $1.046M. You still owe $743K on the mortgage. You walk away with about $303K in cash — your $200K down payment back, your $57K in principal, and about $46K in net profit from appreciation.
Your non-recoverable costs — interest, property tax, insurance, maintenance — were about $330K over five years, or about $5,500/month. That's your effective rent.
But you "made" $46K selling, or about $770/month — so your effective rent was about $4,700/month.
Not bad, but you tied up $200K for five years to get there. And if appreciation was 1.5% instead of 2.5%, that net gain basically disappears and you're paying $5,400+/month in effective rent.
And this assumes there's appreciation at all — and that something doesn't go wrong with your house that needs a major remodel or repair.
On a five-year horizon at 6% rates, you need everything to go right on appreciation just to make ownership competitive with renting.
The transaction costs eat most of your upside.
What am I missing? Anything?
@Valentino_0x@DCinvestor The rino neocon gop will never get power tho
The democrats after this will flood the country and pretty much destroy any chance of republicans winning ever again
what’s the best, grand unified theory on why Republicans seem totally OK with losing the House and possibly the Senate in the 2026 midterms, getting their POTUS impeached, and probably losing the next presidential election in 2028?
@moonshinewizzy@FirstSquawk Think of all the money that will be saved without those bases. If Israel didnt exist there wod be even more annual savings.
@FirstSquawk So we will have spent tens of billions, killed and maimed a bunch of soldiers, completed the destruction of our international reputation, and we get permanently overpriced fuel as a result? Worst dealmaker ever
@StandUpForTrmp Citing raw figures doesn't mean much when you have nothing to benchmark it to. I would consider a 25% year over year decline in visitation to be quite significant, wouldn't you ?
🚨RON DESANTIS with the MIC DROP.
"3.3 million visitors from Canada. That's not much of a boycott, in my book. Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse of what a Stanley Cup winning hockey team actually looks like."
What's your response to this......??👀
Do you firmly support RON DESANTIS on this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏
Germany wants 80% of the Syrians in the country to return to Syria within the next three years, but Syrians say they won’t leave and that no one can force them. This will not end well.
@Kade_X1@Bunny_ngl Straight men and lesbians don't bond, because straight men see lesbians as a challenge for their dicks, as in, they believe that their dicks can "turn" lesbians into straight women

@info_maiden@Sarachin2019@Shoestring_Lab You build the credit up quickly. I came here with no credit 13 years ago. You get a secured cc for a year to build credit then they start offering you cards. You get 2 / year till youre over 50k. After 5 years you’re in the 700’s.
ABC: Iran still says no negotiations are taking place. So how do explain that discrepancy?
LEAVITT: I think the American people are smart enough to not take the word of a terrorist regime
SECRETARY RUBIO: Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country.
This is why body count matters. This is why dating younger women matters. This video is a scarlet letter. The 30+ year old unhinged woman ranting about other men f-ing her is your future wife? Future mother of your children? Absolutely not. Protect yourself men. Lip filler detected, opinion rejected.
