  • I’m back on the dating scene in my early 30’s and I try to be hostile to their algorithm by force quitting and leaving the app closed which seems to trigger it to try and be more engaging.

    I also tried gold only to have my filters just not work. Why would I be interested in matching someone 6000km away or someone with kids even though I’ve tried filtering them out? Ask Tinder I guess. Why would I pay for a service that doesn’t even work. Now that I’m not paying the “likes” seem to roll in even though I frequently run out of users for my area.






  • That’s ridiculous. I do put money away. The problem is that the size of downpayment needed is growing way faster than I could hope to save. How often do these adverse affects actually happen? Once or twice? You can also DIY.

    Other things you can reliably budget for, new roof is every 20 years, maybe new appliances every 10 years. General upkeep? Renters do that already but you can DIY and you have a say in what happens.

    Your argument is basically if you can’t save for a home while already paying for a home you can’t afford a home.
