Just a friendly reminder that you will never be rich and live in a large house.

Oh, but I am rich and live in a large house.

>> No.3511643

I don't give a shit about any large house, I just want enough to keep me studying my whole life. Never gonna happen ;_;.

>mfw poor and live in a large house

Was hit by a bomb during WW2 and no one fixed it up until we moved in so we got it very cheap. Its all nice now but probably will have to sell it because we can't afford to pay our bills and need to get the money somewhere.

Who cares? Happiness is more important than money.

Spare time to waste on shit like this is the privilege of the leisure class. Well, used to be even more so, but if you're wasting time on '/lit/ you're probably relatively rich.

Not necessarily. In my case its because I'm unemployed.

You can't argue for shit.

>> No.3511697

But I will. My grandparents are dying and I inherit half. I'm getting their main house, which is large to me at 6 BD 3 BA, 50 acres and whatever money comes from the rest of the half. Should be a decent amount.

The taxes are going to be a good $4,000 per year, but even with my measly teaching job I can afford that.

>> No.3511698

Jokes on you. Family has saved a lot and it looks like I'm going to marry in a well-off family. Best of all noone I know has those uppity pretentious typically associated with moneyed people.

to make that /lit/ related because I thought I was on /r9k/, one of the rooms is already a dedicated library. But it's almost entirely books on ancestry. The walls have built-in shelves.

I'm not sure what I want to do there. Put all my grandmother's books in storage or sell them so I can make room for my own? Or keep them there and put mine in another dedicated library room.

Had a very sad thought the other day when I realised the only chance I ever have to own a house is the inheritance I get when my parents die.

Otherwise it is too expensive to ever afford a deposit.

Dear /lit/: you, too, can live in a large house! Move to one of the following states: MO KS OK TX AR LA MS TN AL FL SC GA

First, earn your fortune (not too much for this project anyway, $1M - $2M depending on how much you want) somewhere else. Then move in and pick the right neighborhood and you'll get all the conveniences of living in the first world and rock bottom cheap land.

>>3511700

Make two library rooms, and 6/3BA+50acres sounds like a family estate, so get ready to host all the family for various functions, at least if you want them to like you.

>> No.3511776

I currently have 1 bedroom and a lounge room.
I hardly ever leave my bedroom.
Why would I possibly want more rooms that I don't go into?
Although I guess a room full of books would be nice...

Hah, I've already got a cousin who took over as the matriarch, so I don't have to worry about that. But it definitely was at one point the family center. I really wouldn't mind hosting things, but I'm one of the only members of my family who went to university, so most of them think I'm a pretentious twat. My grandparents' money came from logging. It's not fancy money at all.

Your advice is good though. The house I'm talking about is valued right under $1 million. Similar houses in northern states seem to go for at least twice that much, and with the more eastern ones you would never get as much land with them.

I wish they were. In my mind the truths are:

>you will never be able to afford a home
>you are more likely to get divorced or never married than any previous generation
>pensions and healthcare won't exist by the time you're old and the environment will be fucked.

Thankfully all I've ever needed was a basic one bedroom set up. My only real goal is a front lawn and a porch that are mine and mine alone. I'm thinking of moving to the south and finishing my work down there.

i know, it's a shame. no giant library, no lavish paintings adorning the walls, no balustrades, no chandeliers, no spiraling staircases, no secret corridors, no verandas overlooking lush mountain scenery or coastline. i'll be confined to cramped little crummy apartments for the rest of my days. depressing.
