Exactly. This $1300/mo did not include the $47,000 truck or the $50,000 renovations to it. She also had to replace the bed at some point.
So glad she was able to be given a ticket out of the capitalist hellhole grind but this is not the escape they were trying to claim others can do.
Let's not forget she wants to buy another property in the US and rent it out so some other person can work long hours to pay for her adventures.
Nothing wrong with that if she's fair. Some people can't buy a house, some don't want to. Let's stop conflating small landlords with the corporations and institutional investors who are raping us.
You must be new here.
I have seen comments calling for “landlords” to be killed. Even people that spent their whole lives buying their one house and then renting out a floor of it for retirement.
A lot of people believe that, if you have enough money to own property, you are automatically immoral and expendable.
The hate is misdirected and fucking childish. Said one time that I might rent my single house out when I retire and move my wife back the the Philippines. Apparently I'm a beast.
OK kids, get fucked, I'll take the house off the market at any price, you ain't renting it. If they hate landlords so much, they'll likely fuck the place up. Don't need the hassle and cost from half a planet away. I'd probably make more money from appreciating house value than renting it for a fair price.
