ericbomb,

I stg did they buy all the debt cheap because everyone else was worried it was going to be canceled or something?

ericbomb,

Long bows were much more powerful than most cross bows.

Crossbows were easier to use though. First crossbows were seen in 500 bc and never really vanished.

Long bows in a trained archers hand was just better.

ericbomb,

I like honey and saying I’m a vegan while eating honey makes some vegans mad.

Posting pictures like that to vegetarians is like no one likes us.

ericbomb,

I was taught to cook a ton of things growing up.

most of those meals involved meat. So took a bit of relearning. Being able to just make an old thing but with fake meat was nice. Then sometimes brain craves something from child hood, so have to find an alternative.

ericbomb,

Oh that’s a great one!

He’s still doing stuff trying to get more books and reading to children.

So he’s a wonderful answer.

ericbomb,

He also is the founder of some non profits!

So he’s a really good one.

ericbomb,

I mean I didn’t wanna out myself as a giant critter…

But it appears he has built a large and successful business with his friends while being fiercely protective of them while being welcoming and accepting to everyone.

So yeah I think he’s a food role model.

ericbomb,

I’m not changing it cause I would watch it.

ericbomb,

Almost out of that trash debt then you can focus on your goals friend!

Hopefully things are looking up!

ericbomb,

I mean if it can be paid off with fun money and doesn’t ruin retirement plans, not the end of the world if the interest rate was good!

ericbomb,

Oh that is so hard to hear!

It’s crazy that parents are still forcing kids to go to college when it’s been documented a billion times how often people are getting no benefit but tons of debt.

ericbomb,

Smooth moves!

Super good job on getting that under control.

ericbomb,

Oh that sounds stressful. Hopefully things work out as that feels like a lot.

ericbomb,

7% per year yes.

28k per year in interest on just a normal home is crazy.

ericbomb,

If it’s not murder house in middle of nowhere, it’s out of budget.

Like tiny homes are becoming a thing… but like smallest legal home lots are 250k in most cities. Feels like middle of nowhere is only place to be.

ericbomb,

Hey man as long as it’s getting smaller, it’ll be gone eventually!

ericbomb,

Well congrats on no debt! hopefully you’ll find a good deal somewhere!

ericbomb,

I have a meme for you: lemmy.world/post/6902250

ericbomb,

TLDR: Low interest debt that provides long term financial gain is good. Mortgage for primary residence is almost always considered good. Loans to invest into your home that increase its value and make it more reliable/long standing is good. Low interest debt to buy assets for your business is good. Reasonable loans for college is considered good.

Car loans are a bit harder because they lose value as time goes on. But a small loan with good interest is usually considered fine for a car. Buying a brand new car with a loan will almost always be bad, since you’re paying interest to use a depreciating asset. But basically a car loan is always bad if it ever goes upside down, meaning you owe more on the loan than the car is worth. New cars that happens almost instantly.

Basically all other debt is bad.

ericbomb,

I mean most people saying they don’t have any bad debt, but saying they have good debt isn’t too bad! It is interesting to know how much mortgage people are carrying.

But these days even mortgages feel bad. 400k at 7% is 28k of just interest. So houses feel way out of reach with current prices/rates.

If rates go down prices go up. So doesn’t feel like there is much winning for non home owners.

ericbomb,

Oh that’s great! Sounds like you’re rocking.

Don’t know where you live but in the US any home near a city is like 400k, so having a mortgage at low interest at 80 sounds great.

ericbomb,

Yeah sounds like you’re in a great spot with the interest rates and balances!

ericbomb,

The top post is “salary needed to buy a home” is just depressing. But great call out.
