In Daily Show news, that Reza Aslan is one cutehead religious scholar. There are like 15 or 20 guests that Jon Stewart should just rotate, instead of having to have movie stars and shit.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Store $750 K versus borrow $750 K.
Don't forget that the item for which one borrows said money will appreciate in value, sometimes substantially. DF's best friend bought a house less than 2 years ago for ~$450K, and last week's comp check said the house is now worth $700k. He's made $250K in less than 2 years. Show me any other investment that has that rate of return in the same time. Plus, he can deduct his interest on his taxes.

Isn't he adorable? Also atriculate. But, so adorable!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The news is depressing me.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Debt that can be written off on taxes isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Debt written off on taxes. What is the amount in the bank account?
Less.
Check it. Seriously. Check the numbers. Can you rent your way ahead of the interest? Yes, if you save, at interest.
If you can't rent and save, something is wrong with your rent, or your income.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Totally adorable. Made me what to pinch his cheeks and say "who's a wittle religous scholar-wholar?"

To pay my rent and save $500K in the bank would take me 30 years. Something wrong with my income? Maybe. But it is what it is.

Well, I could move in to a closet for the next fifteen (or thirty) years and/or I could give up and get a soul sucking job. I don't really want to though.

Not necessarily. I have a tough time because of the housing and rental market in the DC area, and I make a good income. If I had to buy a house on my own, I'd never be able to save enough to come up with a decent downpayment.
Sometimes it feels like I can't even save enough for my retirement, and I don't have a hellacious amount of expenses.
Should people bank the $150K they may spend on their education rather than borrow it to end up paying interest for the next 20 years, because they'll get a better rate of return? They won't be able to make the $150K if they don't have the education. It's a vicious cycle.
