    The real joke is on the guy who bought a Maserati. That thing will be in the shop more than it’ll be on the road.

      The guy in the comic should’ve looked up the prices of used Maseratis before feeling bad, they’re like 10-20k. I could afford a Maserati if I wanted to, but I’m trying to save up 60 grand for a down payment on a house on some land a fraction the size of this guy’s tree house plot.

      No one buys a Maserati. Your lease it.

        I just wait by the bar and when a guy with a Maserati comes in, I take pictures of myself in a pleather jacket and aviators with it in the background. Same effect, zero overhead.

    I like wooden wind chimes. I prefer them over the metal ones. Nicer sound. Hard to find a wood that will suffer getting clonked all day tho. Considering pvc

            Stop bringing politics into every damn conversation! People should be able to discuss
            topics that have nothing to do with politics without being infected with that nonsense
            brain-rot bullshit. Fuck! There is more to life than politics.

              The point is that if what makes you happy hurts other people, then don’t do it. There are twisted folk that enjoy hurting and murdering others, and it doesn’t even have to be politics; I think everyone, regardless of party, will admit that what Jeffery Dahmer was awful and that he shouldn’t hav done that.

    Took my inheritance from grandma and bought 2.5 acres of Florida swamp for cheap. Knew I’d fritter it away on bullshit if I didn’t make a big move. Yes, I was lucky. No, I can’t build “permanent structures” on it. Happy as hell.

    I can shoot guns and bows, hike all over the creeks and swamps, camp, chill and see what wildlife comes out, fish, whatever the hell I like. Down the road is a dock where I can kayak, canoe, take my little 10’ boat, all that. There’s my favorite river not far and a tiny state park with a tiny lake, 15-minutes away.

    The snow collapsed my big tent, but there was a tarp over it, good for now. Bailed out of IT for a crap job at Lowe’s. Started today. Know what? I think I’m going to be happy as hell there. First thing the trainer did was give me, and my wife, a 10% discount card. Now I can finally start that cabin this spring!

    Wish I could build a tree house. I can’t really afford land to both live on and build a tree house on, and I am not legally allowed to live in the tree house.

      There’s always publicly accessible land and stealth, depending on the type of treehouse you’re envisioning.

      Is it illegal and likely to be knocked down? Yeah, probably. But for a brief moment, you may get to enjoy a very basic treehouse.

      Hmmm…summer project idea (back in my day kids just made tree platforms rather than houses, which is probably what I’d - theoretically, NCC, you know who you are - do).

    I too will never be able to afford a sports car, or attract a romantic interest under the age of 38. But also, I really can’t afford to build a tree house.

        Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump tried to sell all federal land, in parcels far too large for ordinary individuals to buy (to streamline the process).

      He commented that it’s still in one piece so it implies that he’s squatting.

      This is pretty much the opposite of boomer hoomer.

      Maybe he’s saving all his money to escape the rat race and squatting on federal land. It’s really hard to tell without more context.
