If you are not looking to settle in a single area, and you aren't just grabbing your ankles for the first place in the hot new hipster paradise you find, renting lets you trade flexibility for not having a crippling monthly millstone on your neck that also ties up a lot of your liquid assets if you expect to change cities/states.
I know a lot of people who lost tens of thousands in the 2008 collapse, plus what ever they were spending to build equity in the years before, because when the market corrected it took their jobs with with it.
However, exactly zero of that applies to Lowtax, as addressed in this previous post:
If LowT had spent the money he'd spent renting all these years on an actual house, he'd have bankrupty-proof equity, which would be nice to have now that he's almost certainly going bankrupt. He'd also have a guaranteed line of credit in a HELOC if he needed time to get back on his feet (not that he would). That's certainly a significant long term gain.
Lowtax stayed in the same area, doing fuck-all. Rich mom asside, he could have just bought a house if he hadn't wasted his money on barefoot, barefeet, and ambien. Hell, Lowtax could have been using his SA bux to buy houses closer to one of the colleges in southern KC, renting them out and enjoying the nearly free money for life.
But you cannot snort a house for a high, nor does a house have feet you can sniff.
Poor Richard targets girls half his age who have daddy issues but now that he’s a broke ass nigga, the pool is a lot smaller. Back when he had multiple income streams, there’d be a lot more women who would tolerate his abusive behavior, heavy addiction to opiates, and his foot fetish but not anymore. He’s left with the Jasmine St. Johns of the world, which is still more than he deserves.
No more Mormon cokewhores because he can’t afford coke anymore. Him selling the website was a bad decision because all he has now is Gaming Garbage which nobody gives a fuck about. This nigga actually thought that people would restore their donations to his Patreon account once he achieved his retarded vindication. What a dipshit.
He doesn't have the 'star power' being the owner of something awful got him either. He had absolute power (over autists and retards) and fawning sycophants. His pool of feet to sniff has shrunk significantly.
