    Actually I agree, it’s far easier to simply let things continue the way they are than to take a leap of faith.

    My dad had been talking about leaving the country since we were kids, he just said he wanted to wait for us to go off to college first. But nobody really believed him - he was an underpaid college professor with little to no life savings.

    But when Covid hit he sold his house, sold his car, and grabbed a one way ticket to Ecuador. He went down without ever having been, not knowing where he’d end up living, and is now 2 years later living his best life. I visited him and it’s heaven, I’m honestly jealous.

      Hey, if you’re poor, just sell your house and your car, that you have when you poor. Everyone has at least couple of houses to sell, right?

        I think my landlord would be pissed if I sold my apartment. But hey, since I’m going to Ecuador maybe I can find a sucker and be gone before he notices haha.

        OK maybe not everybody but you can always wait for your inheritance, right?

        Edit: do I really need to add /s? Or why the downvotes?

          My dad is more poor than I am, he just signed a 20 year mortgage at 70 and he is much closer to his 5 step kids. I am getting nothing. What next?

          Edit: He at least was able to get a mortgage so maybe “more poor than I am” isn’t true.

      A fucking house is “little to no life savings”? Can you hear yourself?!
