>half your income is going towards the interest on your house loan
which you can write off at the end of the year
i lived in a brand new $650,000 house in maryland which was about the equivalent of a $1,300,000-$2,000,000 house in my current new jersey town. i moved there and from a $600,000 house in the same new jersey town.
the house in maryland was roughly 6x larger than my first house. it cost less money to maintain.
expensive shit is not expensive to maintain unless you're buying sold old piece of shit with low efficiency everything that's never been updated; that also goes for small pieces of shit.
wtf do you think is a million dollar house? i live in a $1.2 million dollar house. it's not a fucking estate, it doesn't have "grounds." I'm on a 150x150 lot in the middle of the suburbs surrounded by other million dollar houses.
my house is maybe 3,000 sqft? my house in maryland was over 6,000. it took me an hour to clean it top to bottom once a week with a furry ass dog who sheds everywhere.
you don't need to hire fucking staff, and if you do, you hire some spick or ukie nanny to come in and clean for a few bucks/week or biweekly.
housing scales with income. to you, $150/week might be a lot of money, but it's not to me. i'm sorry if that offends you. we can't all work at taco bell. i get my maid COMPED.
the houses you're talking about are $10m-$30m+, not $1m.
>selling your US house in bitcoin or shekels or whatever for the same price you bought it for
dollar crashing means buying and selling will rape you. you would owe the same on the house. you just have to pay more for things you consume. also, good luck selling your house in a foreign currency in the US.
