Why do irl people try to discourage me from saving up for a down payment on an apartment?

They usually say something like owning an apartment is worse than renting an apartment and I should save up for a house because that's better.

If you add up all the income I've made in my life, it's probably nowhere close to being enough to buy a house anywhere in my city. But some trashy apartment? I think I could afford that eventuallly. I only rent trashy apartments and the landlords don't fix anything worth a damn and I end up doing half of my own repairs - cuz at least that way it's done properly. it annoys me every time that I fix up some rich person's apartment, then I move, then fix up that rich person's apartment rinse and repeat. And it's annoying that the landlord tells me if I modify the room (ex repairs) that violates my lease and they'll evict me.

But if I own it? At least I just fix it once.

Irl people also say if i buy it, it could have like black mold. Like dude, my current place has black mold already. I think most of the irl ppl I know are pay check to pay check, but I don't use taxis or buy take out the way they do.

Is it good idea to add rivets to clothes to create more airflow?

To help regulate sweat / body temperature. Should be more socially acceptable than me stripping in public

CMV: woke chess. Black or white should move first?
  • a youtube vid was talking about racism in gaming and mentioned chess, talking about how white is more likely to win due to first move

  • Can we do a sidebar link swap between all the science subs?

    There is:

    https://lemmy.ml/c/science

    https://beehaw.org/c/science

    https://mander.xyz/c/science

    which would allow people to more easily find the other subs

    I'm partially memeing bc i get that it's a game from like 3000 yrs ago, but its a very easy modification.

    Is there a reason why this isn't done? Or changing the colors to something else? (Blue vs red, which seems to be video game standard)

    What is solarpunk food?
  • Wouldn't the true solar punk diet be just veganism?

  • CMV: The first thing leftists should strive to do is get a good enough income (can include via setting up mutual aid)
  • or those of us who are BIPOC, I wish I could explain to my white leftist allies just how much more difficult it is for us to get good paying jobs with decent job security

    Not 100%, but to an extent, leftwingers ive met are in lower paying jobs like cashiers. Not that I know each person’s situation or yours. But have you tried to get into trades? No resume or experience needed. No tuition fees since it's paid on the job training. Heck, a lot barely pay taxes since a lot of the jobs are cash. At least over here, a lot of the labourers are BIPOC. A lot of the trades people ive spoken to enough are ex cons. I'm not sure how the job security is, but a career counsellor told me trades are highly in demand across the country.
