If it bothers you to hear people say something about living with your mom at that age (which honestly it shouldn't if you're working, helping with the bills, etc.) just come up with a go-to line. Something like "Yeah, it's not the perfect situation but with everything so expensive, my mom is helping me out while I save up for a house. I want to be as free of debt as much as possible, and by living at home for awhile I'm able to save up for a bigger down payment etc.". In other words, turn what they're trying to make into some negative into something positive.

Of course, considering 90+% of Americans are hopeless debt slaves, they just might not understand why you too don't have a $400k mortage, two cars financed for seven years to the tune of $1800 a month, and $75k in credit card debt.

Horseshit. If they knew more they would not have taken the 6 month route. Are they assuming responsibility when something is wrong?

Garage List
Ever hear of the 18/40/60 rule? When you're 18, you worry about what everyone thinks. When you're 40, you don't give a ___ about what anyone thinks about you. When you're 60, you realize everyone else was so worried about themselves, they were totally focused on their own situation and didn't even notice yours. You're almost to 40.

And check out Marcus Aurelius and Stoic Philosophy. No kidding. Good stuff for handling things like this in life. For instance, from Marcus Aurelius's Meditations:

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”

Check out Lesson 6:

Man, I yearn for a $400k mortgage. .. If I could get our mortgage down to $400k, it'd mean I'd paid off 2/3rds of the house.

F*ck Australian property prices.

This house is why I've got a 135i, not an M4.

How do you know what I sound like, this is text, there's no actual perception of tone of voice. I'm cool as a cucumber broham.

Not mad, I love my Toyoda. I'm just pissed I'll never be able to afford a BMW.

He's just jealous of my Toyota. 1/4 sec walking on M's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

So real talk. Did you join here to contribute something meaningful or just to be a troll? You seem to portray yourself as a kid.

you should have told that little brat that she should ask mommy and daddy where babies come from, and to also ask what a transgender person is.

Well I joined Bimmerpost for BMW information, but forgot that I can't afford one. Then I stumbled on OT section and realized this is where I can finally get a spotlight and get a crack on my acting career.

That's a good thing, no time to grow up, people get old, boring, and senile. Who knows, I could be 50 years young, or 18. Read enough of my posts and you'll realize they aren't all shit posts. Except late at night after some beers, those are 99% shit posts.

Sorry, brah - you are doomed to fail as an actor. Unless that is, you've happened to sexually assault someone, or been sexually assaulted?
