if i ever make it and have over 1 million in assets i'll prob stop working and just buy a house and live off passive income like dividends/staking rewards. i might do the expat thing though living in someplace like SE Asia or south america is very cheap compared to the US and the dollar goes a long away (at least for now). i'll also prob get over a million when my parents pass on in the next 20 years unless they end up in a nursing home for years and lose all their money.

i don't really have any plans to get married and start a family but if i do you're gonna want to live in a place with good schools and plenty of stuff for kids to do. a lot of these places that have big houses for sub 300K are in the middle of nowhere with bad schools. like florida is going to have really cheap housing in the next 20 years as boomers die off but i would never want to live there.

maine is pretty decent but some areas have huge somalian immigrant populations so you're gonna want to avoid them if you're a /pol/tard. portland is pretty nice though. not a bad area to live in.

vermont is very liberal i don't think you're gonna want to move there.

my friend just found out he's working from home until at least 1/1/2021

i wonder how working from home becoming the standard is going to affect cities. if tons of places move to WFH then people are obviously going to move away from places like NYC and LA where you have to pay 2K a month for a studio apartment.

>> No.19398956

so I noticed this house
>>19398399
is only slightly more than this house
>>19398731
but the estimated payment is nearly 2x as much. I'm guessing that's all property tax. So in Texas, are property taxes really that much? You'd be shelling out near what I pay in rent in taxes every month just so you can pay for welfare for illegal mexicans. If that's the case no way in hell I'd ever want to move to Texas.

hmm I wonder. people live in those cities because they like urban life. Plus, if you work in a particular industry (e.g. tech in CA, finance in NY) then it's helpful for your career to be where the action is. that said I do expect commercial real estate to dump pretty hard

some people like urban life but a lot of people live in places like NYC because it's awful to commute on a daily basis and they work there. if let's say 25% of people working jobs in NYC move to WFH (which might be high i don't know) i imagine there will be a ton of people moving out of NYC to places with cheaper cost of living. i mean NYC is so crazy you will pay $800 a month for an apartment that's like 2 times the size of a jail cell.
