...ish. My wife and I just did this calculation and (at least in America) property taxes throw a wrench into it.

A decent rental home in Texas costs about $2650 per month. A similar house costs about $460k to buy, and run about $1000/mo in taxes. So you'll only save about $1650 per month.

Even putting that 460k into a bank account at 4.5% interest will give you $1725/mo, let alone stocks, index funds, and all the other investments you could be doing that will out-perform real estate.

Of course, that doesn't disprove your point about poverty since you need to have the money to buy/invest. But it's just a reminder that houses are not the wealth builder that a lot of people imagine them to be.

Always research and determine the best option for your financial situation. Gate-keeping financial literacy is another tool the wealthy use to keep people in poverty.

I don't know if that's true anymore. There are games on there that require login into PSN after installing.

Aw man, I love how you just said "extended cut". It took me a looooong time to realize it's a parody.

You can use yelp for reviews. IIRC Apple maps reviews go to Yelp by default so there's a decent amount of reviews for most places.

Unfortunately, reality has a liberal bias these days
