    Building a dream house also means an ungodly amount of debt for the mortgage. The matching kit is a better financial decision.

      Generally speaking a home as an investment is a much better purchase especially considering at its very least you live there

        Also depends on local law. I live alone, always wanted a mini house, but they are illegal in most municipalities here because there is a minimum size for a house. So if I really want a mini house, it has to be in a mini house approved neighbourhood, along with other mini houses. Like a mobile house park but for mini houses. They can’t be built anywhere; they have to be specifically approved.

        After all, we can’t build a small house among bigger ones. Think about the neighbours’ property value!

            I’m not an expert but from what I can find online, houses under 700 square foot (65 sq/m) are not covered by the local construction code so most municipalities don’t want anything smaller. It’s also forbidden to build a house with a single bedroom smaller than 320 sq/ft (30 sq/m), or a house smaller than 275 sq/ft (25 sq/m). According to old number, the average house here is about 1950 sq/ft (180 sq/m).

            But ultimately it’s the municipality’s choice so it can vary depending on the region where you want to build it. I dreamed of having a small house to keep as much land as possible, but after looking into what’s possible where, it would be much simpler to just buy something already built that is grandfathered with the land.

    Joke’s on them - your dog isn’t going to have to fight through a resume filter to enter a 700 person candidate pool for one of 2 available human jobs at McDonald’s, which they’ll have to get to walking through the scorching 50 degree wasteland because cars cost 2 million dollars.

    Me: I’m 350 hours into Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and have already bought Kingmaker for when I complete it.

    Both were on sale on GOG for almost nothing, I couldn’t NOT get them!

    Demographic crash seems almost inevitable at this rate lol!

    A world where most people is old, and are either poor or working until they fall dead on the job, pensions systems can’t work when there are more old people than young people.
