Time to retire to Thaland and bang ladyboys for the next 5 decades.

Build 90s/2000s Japanese shit boxes, it's way more fun and fulfilling than buying a super car, way cheaper, and you learn a ton of new skills. Plus if you fuck it up they're pretty much disposable compared to super cars.

Pic kinda related but rx7fc3s are super inflated, I would try ls swapping an rx8 because they're dirt fucking cheap, the suspension/handling is great but the engine is dogshit.

>>52664822
currently the proud owner of two 80's shitboxes, one V8 and one I6. I'm already down this road

>>52664822
Here's a cool rx8 racecar, idk what prices are like now but you used to be able to pick up really good condition ones for 3-4k because the apex seals in the engine needs to be replaced every like 60-100k miles which the labor to do so would cost as much as the car so people dump 'em.

>>52664577
I'm having the same thoughts. I am based in London and have thought about moving to Budapest or equivalent with 1/3rd the rent, wait out global economic carnage, then return to London and buy a property at a major discount.

>>52664895
Very based, I'm currently working on a 1988 fiero ls4 swap with a six speed

>>52664945
kek i'm LS swapping my XJ this spring
>>52664938
I would 100% move to a developing country if i did not have a lot of family

>>52664577
im in the same exact position, ive been at my parents for the last 6 months, im so bored but i dont know what to do, every option is dog shit now

>>52664822
you need a house with space to do this kind of shit

>>52665101
>you need a house with space to do this kind of shit
kek not if you have relatives in the suburbs

>>52664577
You will have an opportunity to buy a house soon. Home prices will go down in the short term and mortgage rates are heading down long term. Buy when prices are low and then refi when interest rates go down. You’ll have to stomach the interest payments for a while but it’s better than being a rent cuck for your entire life. Soon everyone will be priced out of buying a home. You will own nothing… did you forget?

>>52664577
>people are unironically expecting a housing crash worse than 2008 that results in prices dropping more than 30%
You dumbasses really need to open your eyes

>>52664577
Just get a girlfriend bro. You will be so much happier....kek...

>>52664577
>>make over $200k WFH
>>30 years old
get an 18 year old stay at home girlfriend

>>52665101
I live with my parents and have taken over their garage with project vehicles. I’m 31 years old and never kissed a girl.

>>52664577
>make over $200k WFH
fucking how. tell me right now you bum

>>52664577
just buy so- oh

>>52664767
already said it
the homes there are cheap. Just do that.
rent em and keep traveling until you get bored.

>>52664577
>If I got married I'd probably just bend over and buy a house, but I don't see the point in overpaying for some boomer's real estate bags so that he can retire in Naples while I'm single and have zero obligations. On the other hand I'm basically homeless at 30 and not setting down roots anywhere. What kind of way is this for a man to live?
Where do you live OP? Getting a house is not so bad, just don't do it in California, Washington, FL or some overpriced shithole city

>>52664577
Adelaide real estate is relatively cheap despite housing inflation across the board in this country. Most liveable city. Lots of ways to get connections at companies or corporations. Small enough you’ll get to know everyone.

>>52664577
move to UAE

>>52666583
everyone on this board is a lying larping faggot if you hadn't figured it out already

>>52668838
then tell me how to larp 200k a year into my bank account faggot

>>52664577
almost same boat. 170k 190k with bonus and then 90k side consulting work from home. 33 years old.
I'm moving to SEA and buying a condo or going rural and buying land and putting a trailer on it and just invest in bitcoin/dividend etfs, and reits till i can retire.
got 90k saved up and can get condos in thailand/philippines for that easily. About the same for rural land and mobile home to put on it

>>52669183
how did you start side consulting? want to do this but not sure how to start

>>52669183
Based, doing the same here in Thailand, shopping for condos

>>52666156
Would trade being popular with ladies for having parents and being able to live with them.

>>52664577
move to balcans

same situation. Mortgages are so fucking gay, every single parasite from the bank jew to the real estate agent to the goverment siphons a fee from you. It's so fucking shit. But renting is also cucked

>>52670351
Look at this email got from my (((landlords)))

I've been renting for 10 years and this place is the most hyper-capitalist apartment complex I've ever been in.

Think you have it bad? Realize that I will have literal Blackrock investors in my apartment this week, watching their wagie / paypig (that's me) WFH.

I make 140K/year, but I moved to South Dakota recently to get away from high rents on the coasts. There is no escape, really. This South Dakota place that I'm renting is actually owned by people in California/Utah.

Even Thailand is being bought up by hedge funds.

LAND OWNERSHIP is the only solution.

>>52664577
>200k wfh

DOnt even care if I make this much 50k wfh would be good enough how do I do

Someone explain to a brainlet

These investment companies buying tracks of houses like.. I work in construction I’m letting you lot know NEVER BUY A HOUSE THATS SAT EMPTY FOR TOO LONG. Seriously you’re going to be inheriting a host of issues. Stay clear of any property bought up by a large investment company that then let it sit. Houses degrade man. OP why not pay to have your own house built? That’s legit “hire an architect to get something custom to then shop the construction out to a good local GC” money you got this bro

>>52666583
>fucking how. tell me right now you bum
technology consultant at a huge consulting firm. there are hundreds of guys like me just at this one company. I hopped/got recruited to this job after ~6 years at another large company where i started as a software engineer and moved to the business side
>>52668838
>everyone on this board is a lying larping faggot if you hadn't figured it out already
i am not lying, if i was lying i would have made myself much richer
>>52667509
>Where do you live OP?
i'm from a wealthy east coast metro area, not NYC. i wouldn't buy a house somewhere far from my family, at least not while some of the better ones are still alive, although i do prefer the flyover states over anywhere else
>>52668507
>>52670054
>move to UAE

see above
>>52671041
>50k wfh would be good enough how do I do
see above, you just need to be qualified and be good at interviewing.
>>52671129
>OP why not pay to have your own house built? That’s legit “hire an architect to get something custom to then shop the construction out to a good local GC” money you got this bro
i would still be vastly overpaying

They’ll never listen. They’ll never learn.

>>52664577
>$200k WFH

you have absolutely nothing to complain about. You earn way more than enough to buy a great house in most cities.

At that point OP, if you don't want to buy a house, just rent a normal apartment. I mean shit you can even get an expensive apartment like $1.5k per month and it's not a big deal because you make so much money anyway.

>>52671505
you're literally lucky as fuck dude, if you can't figure it out idk what to tell you. I make 43k per year and just got my first WFH job. If I made 200k per year I would literally only have to live with my parents for barely a year or more before I could buy a nice suburban 3 bed 2 bath house with cash. You have it so fucking good

>>52671848
im actually interviewing to become a big 4 consultant myself, but in industrials after 7 years of working in industry. is the lifestyle really as bad as they say? the money is alluring

>>52664577
Brodie got the motherfuckin anklet thoooooooooo and now they know where he at where he gooooo

>>52672808
>is the lifestyle really as bad as they say
if you're an associate yes, manager and above isn't bad. i would never work at a big firm as a lower level grunt. Of course the work is meaningless and soul sucking, you're a worker ant and nothing more.
>>52672717
>just rent an apartment
there's nowhere that i want to live

>>52664577
Live in a nice apartment with a good property manager.

>>52668838
Not everyone works at Taco Bell. I make over 200k and it really isn't anything special. It is just a middle class wage. I'm a pharmacist, but there are nurses at my hospital making over 200k/year.

>>52673174
>there's nowhere that i want to live

have you traveled much? What about a nice little beach town somewhere? Or a fun city?

>>52670460
LOL Email back telling them to fuck off posthaste and than change the locks. If any cunty landlord tried that with me I'd take the bastard axe to them. Your country must fucking suck if landlords think they can just show some cunt round your home.
Lemme guess, America? Hahaha.

>>52673280
>your home

It’s their home lmao he’s just a rentoid he doesn’t own shit.

>>52673174
live in my parents house with me and we'll build a comfy basement for us to play vidya in

>>52668838
People on here say I'm lying all the time when I say I make 60k in one CS job (plus 50k in the other) when I have no full-time work experience besides those two starting just this year. 200k really isn't that crazy for WFH jobs. My mom's fiancé works 3 full-time jobs (in part for the government) and makes half a million now.
