And even if it doesn’t, it’ll still make hundreds of trillions of dollars doing it, so it was worth it in the end.

My take? Young people have no money, interest rates suck, but when a home becomes available that is affordable,

We had an offer for cash, as is, and took it

More like one of those federal, pound-me-in-the-ass prisons
