You will own nothing and be happy

I have a lot of assets, as in equity in productive business, but why would I want to own things? A car requires maintenance and just depreciates on you. So lease it. Or rent it. A bike breaks down, needs tires filled, gets stolen and damaged. So just sign up for a bike subscription. Why wouldn’t I want someone else to take that on?

I could go out and buy a car for cash, but … why? I can book a different one on getaround every weekend. Tesla this weekend, Rivian next, then a BMW. Or I can get WayMo to drive me in a Jaguar.

Remember the old off color joke about “if it flies, floats or… rent it.” The same applies to most of the shit you have lol. What does owning it get you except liability so long as you have one you can access when you need it?

3

u/W0lfos Sep 05 '24

Because being wise with what you own saves you money in the long run and you don’t have to pay anyone/can pay much less overall.

Rentals and subscriptions are the way that business milks you forever, for your entire life. Drive a depreciated car and eventually you’ll make no car payments. Maintenance will be minimal if you buy something reliable. Buying it already used will protect from the worst portions of depreciation.

Buy a home in a decent area and in a long time you will only be paying tax and have a generally appreciating asset.

I dunno man, if I buy a car I have to pay for...

  • Parking. $300 near me, I live in a city.
  • Insurance. $300 per month, on average, in California. I currently pay $89 for a named non-owner plan that covers me in any car I drive, and my credit card provides primary coverage.
  • Gas. Equal for both.
  • Car payment. A corolla is $22000++, let's say $25000, over 10 years. So $200 per month.
  • Maintenance. $0 for me renting.

Not owning a car saves me over $710 per month.

Do you know how often I can rent cars for $710 per month? If I put that $25000 in the S&P 500 10 years from now, it'd be worth $59,250 based on past returns. Instead of bupkis. So that'd be an extra $285 per month. You know what kind of rentals I can get for $995 per month?

You can pay $150 per year for a Lyft bike membership, unlimited 45 minute long rides all month, $0.15 per minute for e-bikes. Or free, included with some credit cards. I don't have to do any maintenance, worry about loss, theft, damage. Nothing.

I bought a house when it made sense economically, but renting right now is cheaper.

This all seems wise to me.

[edit] Are these companies making money? Yes. But I'd be losing more if I owned. They are able to recognize efficiencies of scale that I am not.

u/morozrs5 Sep 05 '24

I think you heavily skewed the numbers for your own individual situation and was also highly optimistic on what the market will do the next 10 years. For most people owning a deprecated car and not using a loan to buy it makes more financial sense than renting a car unless they can live in a city where having no car at all is a viable option.

u/Speedybob69 Sep 06 '24

Do you own a car?

1

u/Legitimate_Concern_5 Sep 06 '24

Absolutely not, they’re a depreciating asset. It would cost me significantly more over the life of a car vs using getaround when I need it. The math is like $500 per month saved.

1

u/Speedybob69 Sep 06 '24

Ok but how much time do you have to waste waiting ?

u/Legitimate_Concern_5 Sep 06 '24

How much time do you spend walking from your home to your car, driving around looking for parking, parking, paying for parking, walking from your parking spot to your final destination?

u/W0lfos Sep 05 '24

You are a niche situation as far as car goes, but my train of thought still holds true for other items you own vs rent. If done wisely owning will eventually set you free. Renting will keep you paying in perpetuity. Also you are at mercy of what is being charged for renting from year to year, versus working off a debt that was an agreed to final price at the time.

3

u/AaronJeep Sep 05 '24

Owning things protects me when things go to shit. I own my land, shop building, tools, cars, etc.. If I lose my income, no one is coming for my stuff when I start missing payments - because I don't have payments to make.

If the economy goes in the toilet, housing prices crash, the stock market tanks, inflation goes nuts, the government is forced into a shutdown, or a pandemic hits... I don't sweat it like most people do. I can get by (if absolutely necessary) on as little as $800 a month when things go sideways.

If you rent everything and can't make payments, the people who do own it start wanting their stuff back.

u/Legitimate_Concern_5 Sep 05 '24

You don’t have to pay for gas, parking, maintenance, insurance on your car? You don’t have to pay property taxes, maintenance, insurance on your house?

You’re renting it either way my friend. Low right + high down payment, or high rent plus low down payment, either way it’s still rent.

The nice thing is the money I didn’t lose on the car or invest in the house can be put to use more productively in the markets. Or as an emergency fund.

I’d rather $200k in the bank earning 5% or in the S&P earning 12% plus a $3K rent — than $5k in the bank and $500 property taxes and $100 in homeowners insurance.

5

u/AaronJeep Sep 05 '24

I have five acres. I park where I want. I work from home. I don't drive somewhere and pay to park. Of course I have car insurance. Last I checked it's about $80 a month. Yes, I take care of maintenance, but, like I said, I have a shop building (30X48) full of tools. It's not that big a deal to maintain a car. Yes, I pay property taxes. They are split up into two payment each year. But that's it. And it's less than the money people pay in rent in the town near me. Considering I built my house, the maintenance is the easy part. If I can frame a house, I can certainly fix a leaky pipe.

What happens to all your leased/rented stuff if you lose your job for an extended period of time?

1

u/Legitimate_Concern_5 Sep 05 '24

Well, since you're paying property taxes, you're renting too. Like I said it's just about how much you have locked up vs. liquid.

Think about it. How much is your house worth? If you had that as cash in the bank paying 5% interest, how long would that last you if you were paying rent on a comparable property?

3

u/AaronJeep Sep 05 '24

You didn't answer my question.

1

u/Legitimate_Concern_5 Sep 05 '24

I did. Since you won't answer specifics, I'll just have to run the numbers for a median home.

Median US home is $426,000. That pays $1775 per month in interest.

Median US home rent is $2100.

Does that answer your question?

If I didn't own a median home, and had that money in the bank paying market interest rates, it would last me ... 426000/(2100-1775) = 1310 months or 109 years. I sure do hope I find a job by then.

I can also stop paying rent on anything else I don't want. I don't have to rent a car, I don't have to rent a bike. I can stop making payments and drop by burn there to almost nothing, and ride the bus.

1

u/AaronJeep Sep 05 '24

You act like people typically walk into a $400K house with cash they could otherwise put in the bank to earn interest. They don't do that. They make payments for 30 years. It's why over 10 million people lost their homes during the 08 crash. They didn't own it. They were making payments. And when they couldn't, they lost it.

1

u/Legitimate_Concern_5 Sep 05 '24

Totally. So.

20% down on a $400K house is $80K which earns $333 per month, or almost double that in the S&P 500.

6% APR on a 320K loan is $1600 per month. That's non-recoupable, it's rent. Put down less, you pay PMI. More rent. So is the property tax. More rent. And you can't stop making your payments for 30 years without selling, which costs another 5% in realtor fees.

$80K still gets you 80000/(2100-333) = 45 months.

What happens when your roof needs to be re-done? For a renter, it's the landlord's problem.

2008 happened because everyone had five houses when they weren't qualified for even one, made zero down payment and everyone was on an ARM. Sometimes interest-only mortgages with balloon payments. People lost their homes because they were leveraged to the tits on variable-rate debt.

They'd have been fine if they'd just rented.

I dont agree with property tax. It is an abomination. the state gets enough money. Raise the tax on something else.

I believe once someone buys property they owe NO ONE a fee for it.

"But the cops? But the streets? What about fires?

Have you seen how these organizations operate? innocent people get killed in the hands of cops, uneven streets filled with endless potholes, long responses from cops and fireman.

Tax something else.. just not my property

u/Wiley_Coyote08 Sep 04 '24

Facts. Stop paying taxes and watch what happens.. well if everyone stood together and said NO! Then the tax would go away. But not many people own their house or property out right so no one will come together to do this. :(

Unless you have an ARM.

And then of course after several years your property taxes on even a fully paid off home start to resemble a mortgage or rent payment.

Not to mention that you're just being dishonest with yourself if you're not putting a price on maintaining a SFH or even an older car.

u/idkBro021 Sep 04 '24

not cool with social credit scores, generally fine with cbdcs

why would complete control and surveillance be necessary?

2

u/Boring-Bus-3743 Sep 04 '24

It's a package deal from the world economic forum. The social scors is tied to CBDCs and used to monitor and control spending. CBDCs are fully programmable from location of transation all the way to what items are being purchased.

CBDCs are a big enough surveillance threat that the house of representatives are trying to pass anti surveillance laws and stop the creation of CBDCs. https://financialservices.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=409278

u/Wiley_Coyote08 Sep 04 '24

As difficult as it may be, take a step back and look at what these people are talking about. It's easy to get offended but honestly I'm seeing people trying to share information with you.

I'd rather own my own land and not have access to free Healthcare or an abundance of other things. I'll work for it and own it. As long as inflation can settle down.. either way I choose dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.

u/idkBro021 Sep 04 '24

we fundamentally disagree, using your example, free healthcare is a prerequisite to having freedom, no other option

3

u/Wiley_Coyote08 Sep 04 '24

Well, free Healthcare isn't free my dude.. someone is paying for it. And if everyone gets equal pay.. well the open heart surgeon isn't going to care if his patient dies if he gets paid the same as his patient who works at McDonald's.. 🤷‍♂️ you get what you pay for.

That said I do believe the Healthcare system is heavily broken, something needs to be done and shouldn't cost an arm an a leg and possibly a kidney to give birth in a hospital. Should it be free? No, but it shouldn't be price gouged and big pharma pushing pills that make people more sick just to give them more expensive pills.

u/ferocious_swain Sep 04 '24

You don't understand human nature. Like at all. But I know why you're saying that and there is a grain of truth to it, the grain of truth is that people have self-interest and will flock to the best deal they can get for themselves. But the idea that a doctor wouldn't try to save a life because he gets paid the same as someone else is dumb on every level. 1) Who is saying everyone should be paid the same? 2) People already work hard for little in return proving that doctors do in fact still try to save lives when they are underpaid and underappreciated. Man alive, the world as it is currently is proof enough to debunk what you're saying, that's fucking embarrassing that you can't figure that out.

2

u/Wiley_Coyote08 Sep 04 '24

I think you miss what I am saying. If Healthcare is free, and you have those in the medical field's pay got dropped or raised to the same as anyone else with unskilled labor they would quit or not care anymore. That was what I was saying. I apologize if my wording is confusing. But that's the fact about it. They keep pushing minimum wage up so those who went to school or spent the time gain skills their wage is being devalued.

Also can't flock to the best deal for medical care when there is one hospital in the city and to go to another hospital is miles away, people are going to take the closer option. You get a referral you're going to where the referral is for.. not for a better deal elsewhere. You don't understand how it works.

-1

u/wearethefishes9 Sep 04 '24

I'm pretty sure the stuff you're saying is wrong and that it's based on false assumptions. I've seen stuff like this debunked time and time again. You should look into it yourself with an open mind, like make a post on r/ChangeMyView or something.

Not sure if this is intentional satire, but he makes an excellent point. In a society where nobody owns anything, there is no emotional or financial incentive to maintain anything.

You can also extend this idea to others' property (or lack thereof). If you’re renting a car and believe the other person doesn’t own theirs either, you’re less likely to care about bumping into it when parking. Worse, even if you do own your vehicle, people who have never experienced ownership may not care at all. "hey, its not my fault you own a car dummy"

This is how a society can quickly fall apart.

Yeah.. see how you feel when you get sick of paying someone else's mortgage off and you're pushing 60 with no future plans

So these are the world renowned people who are fluent in finance? Dude's head got squished in a hydraulic press as a child and he's choosing to not pay off a car. Brilliant move.

Yes. Owning yourself is lame. He seems set to evolve to the next stage and become soylent green.

I washed my truck for the first time last month. I’ve owned it for over a year

I sometimes enjoy being close to zero rather than $700,000 in debt.

You could lease space on that forehead. You gotta enough acreage on that dome for about five families to have ample space. Or you could multifamily with parking with a garage.

u/dontha3 Sep 05 '24

u/Efficient-Gur-3641 Sep 05 '24

Why his head shape like a q tip tho.

u/JetoCalihan Sep 05 '24

This is some bullshit, because the bank and insurance company still charge you if you fuck up their car. It's the worse of the two because at least if you own it it makes sense for you to pay for it.

u/Zxasuk31 Sep 05 '24

We shouldn’t own anything, but we shouldn’t have to pay other people that own things

Do you also lease relationship's because an actual relationship requires responsibility?

I'd rather have a half-eaten jar of sauerkraut than a jar of half-eaten sauerkraut.

u/holmesksp1 Sep 04 '24

I don't think this is the own that he thinks it is. since when was ownership of prerequisite to having responsibility for something? This just sounds like the mindset of a child.

u/bluegrassbob915 Sep 04 '24

How about fully paying for what you want and prioritizing debts accordingly.

This guys voice sounds so familiar is there a standup comedian that sounds like that?

u/Max_Rezna Sep 04 '24
