like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

    You have zero cash plus a property asset. The value of that asset will grow as well.

    Well okay I did ask about buying a fancy house so I think it’s a reasonable assumption.

    But I want to change the argument move the goalpost. Let’s suppose I bought a fancy house and the housing market bubble finally burst… and that the house is now worth 1/3 of what I bought it for. That loss of value caused a massive heart attack and definitely caused death.

    Or let’s say I spent the money on hookers and blow. Might as well go out with a bang, after all.

    Now all of that value truly is gone. Sucks to be my kids I guess. But at least I had a fun time, right?

      Why do you think it sucks to be your kids? They inherit a free fancy house and any of your securities that weren’t sold to pay the note.

      I mean, it sucks for them that their cool dad is dead, but maybe they take comfort in the fact that you went out doing what you loved (raw dog nutting into bitches.)
