  1. Self discipline is the key to avoiding and destroying debt. Financial knowledge is the key to growing what you have.

  2. 11:55 What the F*ck?!?! You buy a freakin' expensive car for no reason and then complain? You made your own problem! Living rich when not actually being rich is sheer idiocy. You can get a great used car that is at most 3 years old with all the bells and whistles for half that price and not break the bank.

  4. LA...California in general, is not like the rest of the USA. The situation there with housing costs versus wages has gotten so far out of hand that it is starting to negatively affect the rest of the country. You have Californians selling their piece of garbage bungalow home built in the 1920s for over a million dollars, then moving to Wyoming or Montana or Texas and buying a house cash in hand that is cheap for them but expensive for the native residents, causing their property taxes to skyrocket and force them out of their homes to look for a cheaper place only to discover it no longer exists. California/boomer greed in the housing market is killing the rest of the country.

  5. It's a lie. Most US cities nowadays have light rail networks and the ones that don't are easy to avoid. The real key to having a good commute is the location of the job and the immediate area around it. A job in the suburbs is fine, as long as the community around it is affordable. Not that tough to find. A job in the central business district is fine too, with light rail usually connecting poorer areas to there to allow for opportunities while also connecting wealthier areas to reduce traffic. The real obstacle to having equal economic opportunity is the stigma surrounding poor people, specifically cultural aspects.

  7. Where are your apartments and investments located? Location matters.

  8. Since when did your hand start charging you a bill?

  9.  @jordanfulmer5542  Not always. If you can go frugal and live in a $900/mo place, the money you save will grow very fast. The biggest problem is lifestyle creep but also something I personally call "damned by geography." You are not in control of your commute distance always, and this is a significant factor in how much your monthly transport budget will be.

  10. The guards in the US are already getting $25/hr or close. The issues is they want $50/hr, which to any manager is nuts.

  11. 1. How many rooms to your home? Are people sleeping in the same room? 2. What are your home walls made of? 3. Are the roads you drive on paved or unpaved? Are there just local roads or are there intercity highways nearby? Car quality is of no importance here, it just has to move safely.

  12. Savings accounts have always sucked donkey nuts. CDs and LCIFs are far better.

  13. Inflation of wealth = inflation of costs.

  14.  @bodigames  If you buy a BMW, you are a fool and you will get what you deserve for wasting money on expensive and unnecessary toys. Expensive cars are bullsh*t that keep people poor. You are talking about buying a product that loses a quarter of its value the moment you drive it off the lot and continues to lose value year after year. The first rule of wealth accretion is "don't be a jackass."

  15. You are correct, but bear in mind that the US has some social and cultural issues going on that are unique to them. Eastern Europe is a homogeneous paradise by comparison to the USA and Western Europe, so you have full land utilization available to you. You do not have to know before you do or any of the nonsense that happens elsewhere, which is a blessing. You have it very good.

  16. Let me guess...everyone has their own car too. Am I right? No car sharing? No one helping each other to pay down a car loan fast?

  17. Johnny forgot that wealth is tough to build but easy to lose.

  18. Poverty industry is what it is called. They prey on the poor because they know that the poor are too stupid to figure out the scam they have trapped themselves in, and take full advantage of it. Proper financial education in the schools could help to combat this, but money smarts has to start at home, and most parents just don't take the time to educate their kids about it. Hence, the student loan and university scam.

  19. As an EU member, you are paying for the public benefits of Calabrians and Sicilians who collect and then go gambling with it. Do not gloat, for your continent is reliant on other nations to pay your bills. If the US were to take back the money they spend on NATO every year and use it to assist poor Americans, their lot would be improved vastly. Europe would have to make up for that money from their own member state budgets, which would be entertaining from the outside to watch.

  20.  @MikeBNumba6  They lobbied because it was their original choice when picking where to live. When they said, "I don't want any mass transit near where I am going to live", they meant it. Trying to force people to accept what they don't want is a waste of time.
