You would own even less on mars.
You can bet muskrat is going to make air, food and water a subscription service.
yeah fair. mars is gonna be exclusively for rich people who can delude themselves into thinking they're getting a better experience in literally any way than a 19th century peasant
let's change that to "born too early to fight in the water wars"
Are you sure? Careful what you wish for.
I figure I'm safe. I'm gen Z, I'll be at least 30 by the time they start drafting people

I’ll never. I may be broke, but it’s better than being in debt. I have no debt except medical bills, and I consider that a win at 36. And most reputable lenders don’t care about medical debt anymore, and why should I?

$50 for 12 months is easier to swallow than a sudden $600 purchase. If they do buy it in one go, then people will force themselves to save for some time, when they are only down $50 that months they may take on more borrowing that adds up beyond the pain of just buying it once.

That’s what it’s worth to them, to get young people on the hook.
If you can't afford a depreciating object that you do not intend to use to make a profit somehow at once then you shouldn't buy it.
Buy all the shit you want and enjoy it, but if it's for a hobby then it's not worth the interest rates.
