      Renting doesn’t just mean that you can’t afford to buy. It’s got other advantages, like not having to deal with repairs, upkeep, being able to move pretty much on a whim… Guess that’s worth it to some ppl

    Ok, so this is obvious rage bait, but by pointing this out I’m making an idiot out of myself bc everyone in this thread knows that it’s rage bait and just goes along, or am I overthinking this?

    Perhaps they confused yearly with monthly.

    Reminds of a funny story. Back when I was reviewing the contract for my current job, I noticed the HR lady confused my yearly salary with monthly. That meant they were going to pay me almost $100k per month if that contract was signed!

    I pointed out the mistake three times and she insisted the contract was correct. I had to contact a company director to get it corrected.

    Why no one’s talking about the math? Monthly expenses add to $49,000 times 12 equal $588,000 per year. That’s clearly not $300,000 and not even earning $400,000 gets you to the end of the year.

      Because the joke is about spending so much money on things like porn and alcohol. It’s just a joke, no real statement of expenses.
