I’m going to assume you are not from Aus, apologies if I’m wrong. In the Australian rental market, a landlord is unlikely to be relying on the rental income to feed their kids. (Honestly, if they are, it’s probably a very poor investment decision and they have bigger problems than… Read More

The market conditions are probably pretty different in New York though. Doing this is a tightly held or competitive market, would not be the smartest idea, clearly, but in a falling market where any potential new tenant will be paying less anyway, might be worth a try.

Ellen is 100% a boomer, she was born in 1958. Gen X didn’t start till the mid 60’s.

Great quiz, but a few picture errors. As mentioned by another commenter, that’s not an Australian Copperhead (totally different snake). And that photo of a funnel web looks more like a wolf spider, could maybe be something else, but definitely not the commonly known Sydney Funnel… Read More

It’s really interesting to me how differently we all process belief. A commenter below mentions that they almost miss believing in God because of the peace and ease it gave them. As someone in similar circumstances (chronically depressed), I’m exactly the opposite. I find peace and… Read More
