So in your world you have to have a house paid off before you can start a business? 

How about you rent a room and drive an old car so you can save up some dough?

I mean you couldn’t come off as more of an elistist silver spooner if you tried. :lol: 

Are you equally as stupid as the clown posse or are you acting this way to fit in. 

My parents first paid off their house, then used the equity to borrow against when they decided to start their own business.

I'm just making a comparison between the 60's and now.  

A constant theme from the right wing is" if you don't like it, start your own business.  "   

I"m just asking for you to show me the budget using numbers from links I provided.  Obviously unreliable house price like US census. Who believes that fly by night outfit? 

But go ahead, show me the budge a couple in their early 20's would have to pay for a house, in 10 years making average factory wages.

Most start businesses from their garage, house or mom's basement.

Most have to stay at home now.  But what about when Merca was great?  

How did people manage to buy houses on one person making an average factory income? 

You and your clown posse buddies keep talking shit but none of you have come up with a budget.  

Typical stupid lying Trumpsters

Just because you aren't starving doesn't mean this isn't a problem you dumb fucks. With extreme wealth comes extreme power. We have already seen the erosion of our representative govt, they are basically the enforcement branch for the global elite. They are seizing the assets of other countries so what's to stop them from taking everything else. Wake the fuck up you fucking Derps. 

Good post.

Actually I'm being insulted by idiots. It's a noticeable difference dumb dumb. 

 

You are being insulted by people not only smarter than you but, more successful also.  It's important for your mental well being that your mind twists it the other way.

Apple and Amazon started out of their garages.  Poor Rev, trying so hard to sound relevant.

The most important part of starting a new business is what the product/service will be that makes you different than what is already out there.  We would call that not a #metoo. 

"You have that, yah I have one to"

In a nutshell.

You mean you don't have to have your house paid off in 10 years during a time of very high interest rates, unlike today?
