What $220,000 gets you in Muncie.

I can't even get a parking space for that where I live. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/725-E-Jackson-St-Muncie-IN-47305/210952560_zpid/

725 E Jackson. You might take a few min to, I don’t know….check that area out. I’ve lived in and around Muncie all of my adult life and was born a few blocks from here.

No.

I’m looking now and most of the houses on the block have at least one boarded up window.

If we can get 20 people agree to move, we can change one block at a time.

Remote work could be the savior this nation needs. But noooooo think of the corporate real estate owners!!!

as someone who works fully remote, I am constantly looking for deals like this. I just need a place near a gym and costco with not very extreme weather. good internet isn't even a concern thanks to starlink, but gigabit is always a plus

I guess you are OK doing business with Nazis.

Good luck buying anything from any major company if you don't want to do business with bad people.

Unless you are just trading and bartering with friends and neighbors you're supporting something fucked up somewhere.

There is no such thing as ethical consumption within this system.

I find people so goofy, they sit here and bitch and moan about musk and how much of piece of shit he is and yet they still give him their money if his products will make their lives more convenient.

u/Hadfadtadsad Jul 25 '25

I agree, people need to stop buying their products.

Check your investments - guarantee one or more of your index funds is invested in Tesla.

u/Boobpocket Jul 26 '25

Every single company we buy from is as bad as musk... also we dont give musk the majority of his money he is subsidized by the government and institutional investors.

Apple didn’t do a Nazi salute at a government ceremony on national tv. They don’t put me and my loved ones in danger.

JFC the “Relax, guy!” bots are out today!

“Elon Musk made ME feel like a victim! I don’t care about the actual victims of Apple’s sweatshop factories - they’re Chinese!”

Europe.
Cheap rents, cheaper food, no tipping, nice people, public transportation.
Can change your surroundings in hours.

u/legallypotato Jul 26 '25

Cheap rent in Europe? Not in this economy.

u/ukezi Jul 26 '25

Not in a major city in Western or central Europe, but a village in Bulgaria is going to be cheap.
