I dont unfriend people unless they bother me That said I dont add randos
Influence and network depth might come in handy some day, cutting those razor thin seems nonessential and even counterproductive.
That might be something you do but I dont see it as good advice is sticks out amongst all the rest of it which is actually solid advice.

I do have the habit of checking FB bullshit, and some people post such cringey shit so I "unfollow" them without having to forget that they even exist, cause I still knew them as a decent person so I have that respect to still remember them I guess.

Do you really need to see what some girl's cat is eating for dinner? Do you really need to read yet another cheesy quote? Do you really need yet another click bait shit reposted?
FB can be useful if you only keep the useful posters. 90% of it is bullshit like "95% of people won't share this, are you gonna be one of them?".... Yeah I am... Fuck off. Know what I mean?

I've never used facebook. It's weird, because even my grand-parents and parents use facebook actively. I just never got into it. If I live to my 90's I'll probably be a lonely old man because I never used facebook, but that's okay.

I don't need to see any of that but th reason i habitually visit the site nearly everyday is because like 1 out of 100 posts might make me exhale through my nostrils faster than usual and I sorta chase that. It's bad though, such a waste of time, I feel so time wasted after I don't get my little second of amusement out of it.

I only have 209 friends on facebook and they're all people who I have known at one point in time. I'd rather not go and delete people who were once good friends just because I haven't spoken to them in a year. It's not like I intend to never contact them again. And every so often I get people from my past who contact me wanting to hang out or something.
Besides that I need the comments, likes and shares when I post memes.

Stop buying drugs. Grow what you can. If you can't grow it, it's not all that necessary.
Don't get cable. Yes get cheap Internet. All the stations you need are easily received with an antenna. Tv is a waste of time.
Don't date or fuck around with girls until ya got money to pay for kids. Lot's of guys end up with more child support than income. If all else double bag that sucka or talk about abortions and or birth control. Cheap sluts have value too.
Don't get loans to start with. You will pay more than it will ever be worth. Get land contracts.
Be nice to your parents and do free stuff for them. Be nice to everyone but blow off the drug hook ups more. The dealers don't want friends, just money.
If your friends revolve around drugs, that won't last. Gotta be more substantial.
Read the legal codes!

honestly, none of this is wisdom.

the fucking return investment man.
cheap houses tend to get "cheaper" (i.e., shittier, because of the owners not being able to afford common repairs etc...) more expensive homes (more than likely newer, bigger, better) retain value better and are probably in a better neighborhood.
what you dont want to do is rent. rent is only helping the owner pay off his mortgage and taxes with your paycheck so in essence it's a free investment when they decide to sell. you are basically their employee by living there.
and remember, it's not buying an expensive house that may break your budget. the keyword here is AFFORD.

I think cheaper housing might provide a better return on investment in the long run, but it depends on locale for sure. Even then, with it being unpredictable some years I'd almost feel safer just investing money into an index fund or something. You'd have to be in at the perfect time to get a solid ROI for an overpriced house, and then you have to worry about selling it when you want as well.

Ya buy brick and save for down payment for a loan that CAN be payed off early without penalties. Get a loan from parents if needed. Don't buy fancy, just smart.

ROI completely depends on the location, the city, the neighborhood, the schools nearby, the sectors reputation etc. You cant say if big or small is good by specualtion alone.

$52 where I am from gets you a house in the worst area, in a flood plane, with no resell value at all. I know a guy that bought a house for that and in the same situation is you. Just depends on how desirable of place the surrounding area is to live, along with the school system and job market.
Housing market is also back to a sellers market in most places, yet home ownership is an all time low for first time home buyers. I can't wait for regulation to change that will allow me to get a mortgage.

Neighborhood has gone for 100k with some houses. The past owners of this house I am in had bad tenants and wanted out of their deal. It was a land contract and the tenants only paid the first payment over 2 years, no rent.
It would go for 300k out west easily.
80k will get you a dozen acres here. With barn and free natural gas!

These are suggestions from a 31 year old retail book clerk? You have assets, but did you you buy your property on the open market with money you saved? I thought you got it from family? People reading this with low paying job and high student debt will likely never own property. Having roommates kept me awake and make me unable to work more. Since living alone I l have more money not less. That's my suggestion for a better life work as much as you can. If your one job isn't paying that well get two, get three. I don't go out much because I am working all the time, not because I am too cheap to buy a drink. Sitting at home drinking moonshine is kind of depressing, buying that 5 dollar drink once in a while at the bar is a good thing. Throwing stuff out I don't use is going to change anything, my space is huge it's not cluttered. Holding on to some stuff makes it increase in value anyway. I wish i had a lot of stuff I threw away. The book/magazine I haven't read in 5 years isn't getting sold for a dollar just because I haven't looked at it in ages. Having stuff is only a hassle when I move, otherwise it doesn't effect my life in any way. Most of it is in the storage room anyway, maybe if you have hoarders type shit going on you should throw out a bunch of stuff, but no I am not throwing out stuff just because it hasn't been used recently. Are you really giving advice on cheap dating? Wasn't there a tea issue on one your of your dates? I vaguely recall that. Life is expensive, you'll probably die young anyway, I guess you want to be buried with it. Did you suggest getting furniture from a thrift shop? Furniture is the one thing you should not scrimp on or buy used, bed bugs are everywhere and you don't want any of that shit. Why would I delete people out of my life that I don't talk to? Those people are the reason I can get any drug known to man, everyone has a use. Deleting people off facebook? Why? I use those people to make money, more friends equals more money. I don't understand your mentality. If they post stupid shit stop following them. You control the facebook, you control your feed. It's kind of ironic you are telling people not waste time online when this site is the biggest most useless waste of time there is and you have 33 thousand posts. Maybe you should take you own advice. Like I guess the no piss jugs advice was pretty solid.
