mortgage is nothing to me. $1172 for 5 bedrooms. that's chicken scratch to the point where it'd cost me less to downsize.

Internet and cell phone bills. If you threaten to cancel and leave to other providers then speak to loyalty and retention department you have leverage to get a better deal.

Cable TV- IPTV is pretty much $7-8 per month and you get all the channels (2,000+) with PPV and all sorts of channels. I've been to 14 different countries and was still able to use even with low internet speeds. Yet you got lazy and stupid people still paying for cable.

Electronics and new phones- Sheep mentality and FOMO crowd will also be easily manipulated.

Flights- Airlines have glitches on certain dates and days of the week you got a 6-12hr window to capitalize. There are telegram groups who literally post the alerts. Best deal I've got was $244 from U.S to South Africa and a $340 round trip to Brazil.

Luxury cars- Your monthly car payments and down payment will you get property overseas that you can rent out and make passive income from if you decide to rent out when your not around.

my internet went from $45 to $55 in the last year, and my ONLY alternative is comcast, so when i threatened to cancel, they were essentially laughing at me. and rightfully so. I have no leverage in this situation.

that said my cell phone bill thru visible (on the verizon network) is standing pat at $25 including tax.

Edit** They can give you that discount you just got a stingy agent who was being hard headed and probably went over their daily cap. Best tip is to call 10-20 mins before they close or first thing when they open. Also have your offers from other providers presented to them. That $10 per surplus month is 120 over a year span.

Video games. Sell you a gutted project at full price, then continue to sell the rest of the product in bits and pieces to you so you end up paying 100-1000% more

Unfortunately this is just the nature of big budget game development nowadays. It's almost impossible to get these massive, networked, open-world games out on time without a shyt ton of bugs that just have to be tested (by you) and sorted out later. But then you got some a$$hole companies out there that will intentionally withhold content for sale later.

The good old days of waiting month after month for a AAA title and then finally coming home with what you knew was a refined and polished package is way over. There's almost no line between home consoles and PCs no more.

Yeah but you can't throw Houses with Diamonds and Alcohol because Houses unlike the other two are a necessity. And also land is a scarce commodity. There is a limited inventory. It doesn't compare with Cars, diamonds, or alcohol, which all 3 can still be looked at as a luxury and not a necessity of life. A house is an absolute necessity of life for a human, so therefore the demand of it is more local, more real, and more certain. The other 3 are just related to name brand, marketing, social status, etc, nothing of importance at all to life or death. And on top of all of that you can still get a great price on a house if you just go to an area with a lesser demand for housing

I used to evaluate houses three different ways. First is it's sticker price. This is demand related. In markets like dc the sticker price was high but the amount of rent you could charge to get your mortgage paid was also high. And the price you could flip it for later was probably higher.Problem with sticker price Everyone started defaulting and buyers started waiting for the houses that hit the market from a desperate person cause the price difference was worth the wait. Secondly alternatives.

Gentrification in dc happened when white folks and other people coming in would see a row house convenient to certain areas but a few streets over. Same house but in an unsafe neighborhood. So they'd get a mortgage on the unsafe house. Get it done up and invest in security with the extra money.

And then there was the price of building something yourself. That's where you see the actual cost and labour in making these houses vs how much it is doesn't make sense. If it's tied into land rates it shows that there's value in acquiring land now for future generations so they don't get squeezed out.
