I did the same,bought it right before rates went crazy high last year. I won’t retire for another 10 or 15 years but bought a place about 15 minutes from the gulf coast. I’ll spend 6 months and a day there and 6 months minus a day at my place in VT. Florida is much more giving on the tax of retirement and social security. I figure I own the VT house outright and as real estate is usually a good investment long term. This way I’ll be able to leave each of the three kids a house when I go as either a place to live or so they can sell it and do what they want with the money.

“Must be nice” dude we all have the same 24 hours in a day. Pitter patter.

Spoken like someone who has had everything handed to them and can’t understand why the “poors” are always complaining. Fuck the fuck off. You and your pitter patter.

"poors"... I grew up on public assistance, without hot water or a bedroom. The 5 lbs blocks of cheese people joke about, I grew up eating those. I had an older brother so never had anything new and everything I owned was a hand me down. At one point me and my 4 siblings shared the living room while my parents had the bedroom of a 1 bedroom apartment.

Being poor sucks. My siblings and I spent our youth in the gutter and now we are making sure our children don't have to live like that.

I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination but I'm comfortable and I've been working since I was 15 years old to get there.

Sorry your shit is not working out but don't blame me for that.

That’s a sad story. I’m glad you were able to take advantage of all the opportunities this country affords to white people. Keep on trucking, you’re somebody.

What a weird pivot. Are you just trolling ?

It is VT. There is a 94% I'm white. If you live here there is a 94% chance you are all well. Higher actually because you are on Reddit.

Does it really matter what color I am? According to you, anyone who doesn’t make it in this country is lazy. Yes, that is what your comment implied. I simply reminded you that not everyone had it as easy as you. Believe it or not, many people would have traded your government cheese life for their own situation. You had it good as a child, you had a roof. Go out and find some empathy.

It doesn't matter to me what color you are. You brought up skin color, not me.

Does it matter what color my skin is?

Your reply also makes it pretty clear you are trolling.

Have a great day.

Keep looking for that empathy. Usually people who have had a tough time in life develop a good sense of it, in your case I guess it just made you bitter.

HA. Handed to me. I grew up in serious poverty, dropped out of school in 9th grade because I couldn’t work full time while in school. Was able to bust my ass and put myself through an associates degree program at VTC. There hasn’t been a single fucking thing in life handed to me that I didn’t bust my ass off to get.

The lazy complain, us “poors” bust our ass off to make sure our kids don’t live the life we did.

I’m sure that yearly $100 to NAACP makes you feel better about yourself, but don’t forget how you got those houses.
