Amazon deliveries continue to be the worst in the biz. They frequently fail to deliver packages properly or even at all. If I had a dollar every time a package was left in front of an open door or not put inside their very own Amazon Lockers, I would probably have enough money to buy out Amazon.

Chicago Born and Raised. Seeing tracks on fire during the winter is pretty common. I honestly thought this was common practice.

Can we stop for a second and realize that they are trying to extort $150? Who tries to extort $150? If you are going to commit a crime, at least go big. Go for $150,000 at least.

I think the truth is that most people don't actually foresee buying a house any more. I know many professionals in the Valley who still live with their parents because it's cheaper than dumping half their paycheck on an apartment. Most people also end up with several room mates. 100k sounds like a lot until you take out taxes and 2k a month for rent. Plus, if you want to be social, you can't eat out for less than $25 a meal. And those are the cheap places. Other required items are also much more expensive out here. Many professionals sacrifice a LOT to live in the valley. Making 100k doesn't hurt, but all that means is that when your TV breaks, you can buy a new one without having to worry about eating. You are still stuck in renting hell. You are still living month to month, just with a little extra money in pocket.
