    And the subsidy is such that renting out just one of the bedrooms at market rate will cover the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and then some.

That is some straight-up entrepreneurial shit right there. Can you use the program to buy another one?

Unfortunately no, the program has a few requirements, among them that applicants be first-time home buyers. And you have to be really poor. Which, after volunteering for a few years, certainly describes me. But the opportunity is an enormous leg up.

FUCK dude that kitchen is worth more than my house.

I wanna be you when I grow up.

I pinch myself every day.

My workstation is made up of pieces available at Guitar Center.
