How much do you pay monthly rent/mortgage *Subliminal bragging thread*

[superqt4u2nv]

sometimes i think i am the poorest mofo on here.
a 2k mortgage and i'd be sunk...i got a two story condo on a lake,
all uts included plus cable and internet for 575 a month.
perk of living in bumblefuk

You can share a small 2 bedroom for that much in the city but no way in hell you get anything decent for one person with that kinda money.

Nope, my parents learned their lesson when I was growing up and we were poor. You get your shit together early, work hard, avoid banks and start thinking about how to launch the next generation.

I'll pay it forward to my children someday. If I do my job right, they'll be dealt a royal flush and never know poker can be tough.

Dam that is nice mine think struggling is healthy builds character which is true to a point. However if shit went really sideways in my life they always give me a roof over my head if I need it.

My mortgage is 1500 a month, I pay 2000 though. not sure exactly what utilities/cable/etc add up to. Pry another 400-500

With utilities (gas/electric/cable/internet/water/heat/AC/sewage etc) combined

I know every on ef is in the 30% tax bracket, but still...

Hopefully we can get some callouts and posting of yearly profits + W-2's.

Oh, all that too? Bump me up from 1700 to about 2000. This is DC. I live in a one bedroom condo, that's standard for nothern virginia. If I lived IN DC that number could jump substantially.

I can't wait to leave here lol

I have a different take on that. Use their childhood to create a linkage between positive behaviors and rewards. Too many people today have lost that link (i.e. "no matter how hard I work, I just can't get ahead" or "it doesn't matter how much I diet, I'm still overweight").

When they get older, they'll learn life's ugly little truth that sometimes you can work hard and do everything right and things still not work out. But as a parent, I'm going to shield them from that as long as I can.

My parents did the same thing for me. We were anywhere from food stamp qualifying poor to comfortable middle class, but I never saw the difference. I never wanted for anything growing up, and they paid for my undergrad and helped with grad school. I have no idea how they did it, but I appreciated it every step of the way. And when it was time for me to go my own way, they'd given me a pretty nice lifting off point.

Don't get me wrong, they didn't go crazy and buy me a car or other ridiculous things that I didn't need. They expected me to work during the summers. But as long as I was taking care of the things they wanted me to take care of (primarily, school), they were there to step in any time I needed help.
