What a bunch of worry warts. Just because the Fed and Wall Street have driven home ownership rates to an all-time low and increased the number of renters to an all-time high through their warped monetary schemes, while driving rents up at an annual pace of over 8%, why worry?
Just because your monthly rent is at an all-time high, while real median household income is at the same level it was in 1989, why worry?
Just because your healthcare costs are rising at an annual rate of 10% or more, why worry about making your rent payment?
Just because you have $40,000 of student loan debt and a waiter job at Applebees, why worry about that silly rent payment?
Just because filling up your leased SUV is 30% more expensive than it was in mid-February, why worry about rent?
Don’t worry, be happy.

That’s one good thing about being the newest member of the free shit army. I finally ( after paying taxes for 36+ years ) get to stick it to the MAN .
It’s the new “Alfred E Newman” syndrome. “What? Me worry!” It seems funny, but is very unsettling. What will happen before the November elections should be interesting, to say the least!
You ain’t right in your mind, bb. Here you are, a’stickin it to your pore ol’ pals at TBP and just grinnin for a fat man’s ass. Y’all FSA goobers are just heartless. You are mean to me and treat me harble.
ahaha
bb, you are not now, nor have you ever been, a member of the FSA. To be a member you would have to own your business. You would have to be at the very least a millionaire or better yet a billionaire. Then the government would give you some really serious free shit. .gov free contracts. Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of free money for your bank. You are a piker there and no FSA member.
The higher the rent the more advantageous for illegal aliens and Mexicans.
The white person prefers living in his own room . Not a room with 6 others. $300 dollars a week rent is only $50 for a Mexican. Or a dollar and hour.
The higher the rent the better , the better as far as they are concerned.
Ads on the right margin are screwing up TBP.
Gasoline is cheaper than it has been in months? It costs less than 2.50 per gallon in the entire USA?
Cultivate a good relationship with you landlord, I do. Paid on time, Offer to fix little things by yourself to save them money. Keep the property clean and in great condition to protect their investment. I know the increase will come sometime, but they’re not raised the rent in 4 years because I am willing to work with them to keep their costs down. And they are great landlords. With things so uncertain, I’d rather rent than own. Lost my job in 2009 and sweated out the mortgage payment. Thankful I found a buyer and sold for a slight loss. I moved to another city to get a job. I’m never going through that again. I will only “own” a house again when I’m retired, never have to move for my job and can pay cash. Otherwise, the banks own you.
Welcome to new version of democratic socialism – printing/corporate welfare is for everyone – but only for those who we will pick. Free speech is also for everyone unless you disagree with what is happening. Everyone is earning their share in this crony capitalism unless they are banks and big corporations – this is what happens in Spain. Blaming the failures of bureaucratic, crony semi-socialist, heavily indebted system on the voluntary exchange (free market capitalism) has no valid logic in it.

Someone owns all those rental properties. Ownership isn’t down, it’s just being concentrated. Just thought you should know.
