Ben Hur Horse Race@lemm.eeto Buy European@feddit.uk•List Of Local Facebook Marketplace Alternatives1·1 day agocool bro thanks.
he died about a month ago now and we’ve dealt with the little bits and the larger things… the furniture is the biggest shame. dude had custom tables, sideboards, display cases, liquor cabinets made for his place, solid maple, really just beautiful stuff. tens of thousands of euros to make new.
as you know, apartments are meant to be left completely bare and painted white. so, there’s no home for these truly beautiful pieces and they’ll just go to god knows where.
as I said, the furniture was made for the apartment so it fits absolutely perfectly in the space. it makes sense to me that that furniture would stay and the apartment would be rented as furnished, but apparently thats not something that happens all too much. germans accumulate furniture over the years, its a sign that youre all adult or whatever, with the vast majority of germans renting their entire lives. Im aware rent pricing controls makes this possible.
different system than Im used to, and who am I to judge, but I will say with the idea of always renting, your money always goes poof, gone when you pay your rent. paying a mortgage means you pay off that part of the loan, €1,000 a month means 12k a year that you get back when you sell. my wife told me that we had accrued something like €80,000 after a little over 3 years after we switched from renting to paying off our mortgage. for me, nothing changed, I had paid rent every month of my life since we had to move out of the house I grew up in following my father’s death when I was 18 or so.
Not only have we essentially saved 80k through this system where the bank bought the house we live in and we give them €1.05 for every euro they paid for it one euro at a time, the house has also appreciated in value, so its now worth about 20% more than when we bought it.
I don’t agree with the ethics of the system I’m living with, but there isn’t a huge amount I can do to change things other than vote the way I do.
So, anyway, thanks for the link she needed to deal with everything pretty fast mostly on her own, and her dad lived in the second asshole of nowhere, deutchland. quite close to buxtehude, actually.

Ben Hur Horse Race@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump's polling problem: Voters no longer blame economy on Biden7·6 days agomaybe. its possible there are other semi-conscious awakenings inside this person as well. cognitive dissonance makes it very, very difficult to admit you were wrong. we can’t expect people to do a 180. the people on the right win elections because they run a big tent. I personally believe the left(more-ish) in america loses elections largely due to purity tests.
anyway, its hard to say what’s inside someone’s head. I say if someone is willing to vote blue for “the economy” they’re welcome in the tent. with any luck, the influence of the other people they’re no longer knee-jerk hostile to will rub off over time, issue by issue.

Right, ok. It just looks like a room that a stable couple or family would have. Thanks
